The annual conference of VIPE (Association for Institutional and Political Economics) will be on the political economy of financial markets. The conference is organised in co-operation with USE (Utrecht School of Economics) and the TKI (Tjalling C. Koopmans Institute, the research school and institute of USE).
Theme of the conference
Whereas the study of financial markets used to be the exclusive domain of economists, many other scholars have recently taken an acute interest in the subject. Financial markets have increasingly become heterogeneous, ranging from stock markets, to futures markets, to markets for private equity and hedge funds. Financial markets have increasingly pervaded many people’s daily lives and well-being. If anything, this has become visible in the Asian debt crisis, the 1990s equity bubble and its ensuing crash.
By focusing on financial markets, the 2007 VIPE Conference will endeavour to show that the multidisciplinary study of phenomena that have traditionally been the exclusive domain of mainstream economics, if methodologically guided properly, is able to deliver analyses and insights that are not obtained so easily in one of the underlying disciplines.
