Workshop in Applied Price Theory
Deirdre McCloskey, Distinguished Professor Emerita of Economics, History, English and Communication at University of Illinois at Chicago, served as FMI Distinguished Visiting Scholar during the Spring 2019 semester. Prof. McCloskey's areas of expertise include economic theory, economic history, philosophy, ethics, and law.
The Workshop in Applied Price Theory brought together current and prospective graduate students from Texas Tech University and other colleges and universities for lectures and breakout sessions focused on topics in price theory. Readings focused on selections from Prof. McCloskey's revised working manuscript for her textbook The Applied Theory of Price. In breakout sessions, participants completed exercises and discussion problems from the The Applied Theory of Price and discussed their reasoning and solutions with Prof. McCloskey.
Rosolino Candela, Senior Fellow with the F. A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, also served as a facilitator, presenting a lecture on the price theory tradition developed at the University of California Los Angeles in the second half of the 20th Century.
