Prospectus

We are pleased to announce that GLOPEII will host the second international young scholars conference, which is to be held on January 14th and 15th, 2012.
Over the last four years, GLOPE has been exploring the problem and process of institutional change, based on a new perspective of political economy with a special focus on the interactive role of expectations among agents. Along the way, we have also made efforts to combine various theoretical, empirical, and normative approaches toward a better effective methodological hybrid. In light of the originality and ambition of our project, GLOPEII would very much like next generations of scholars to continue and further develop our research. It is for this reason that we have decided to organize and host this conference. The previous (first) conference held in 2009 was successful in bringing together diverse young academic talents from over the world. We are confident that this second conference will also provide fruitful opportunities to exchange new ideas and evidence among those interested in the study of political economy.
The conference will have a special session, in collaboration with Keio Economic Society, which focuses on experimental and behavioral economics in which some scholars at the frontiers of the field are invited to give lectures. It is our great honor that one of these invited lecturers, Professor S. Gächter from Nottingham University will deliver a keynote speech on the norms of cooperation in a cross-cultural perspective.
