3rd Lake Como Summer School in the Philosophy of Economics

The summer school is intended to foster reflection on the changing identity of economics after the empirical turn, model transfer in between economic sub-fields, how economics is modelling the social structure of science, and other cutting edge topics in history and philosophy of economics.

The school consists of lectures, presentations, and tutorials. The invited speakers lecture on the topics related to the school’s general theme, while students have 30 minutes to present their papers.
