6th. International Seminar on Heterodox Microeconomics
| Call for Papers
The community of teachers and researchers from national and international universities is invited to participate. Interested applicants, researchers, professors and postgraduate students can propose individual papers or posters related to heterodox microeconomics point of view and the theme: Evolutionary Theory, Institutions and Complexity Economics.
The context
The central feature of the current era of the global economy is the competition between global oligopolies, which carry out strategies of growth through the control of different markets to expand worldwide. Among these policies, innovation stands out, as well as the development of global value chains and production networks in the context of complex and uncertainty environment.
The in-depth analysis of the fundamentals of these processes in the light of economics and microeconomic theory is fundamental to advance both in the understanding of current dynamics and in the theoretical development of approaches that try to explain the national and global economic reality. For this reason, the general theme of reflection in this seminar has to do with the Evolutionary Theory, Institutions and Complexity Economics.
The plurality in microeconomic analysis transcends the orthodox partial view of the world and its functioning. This offers alternatives for students, teachers and researchers in economics to choose between different ways of understanding and theorizing the economic processes. At the same time, the plurality of content allows students to develop their skills to understand and explain the dynamics of microeconomic processes that actually occur. In this Seventh International Seminar on Heterodox Microeconomics, we would like to debate the neoclassical view of enterprise, innovation and equilibria.
In the different faculties and schools of economics of the universities of Mexico and of the world the academics and researchers have committed to the reflection of their way of teaching and study of the microeconomics. For this reason, this will be an open space to those who would like to share their experiences in teaching heterodox microeconomics.
