AFEE South American Conference in Araraquara 2026

 

Dear AFEE friends,

Between May 26 and 29, we held the II AFEE South American Conference in Araraquara, Brazil. The event was an important occasion for debate, exchange, and the continued development of OIE in South America. It included the participation of Danielle Guizzo, William Waller, Jacob Powell, and Laure Bazzoli, as well as a special session organized in dialogue with the Brazilian Keynesian Association, AKB.

The conference began with a pre-conference on Radical Institutionalism, which gathered 33 undergraduate and graduate students. The main conference took place over three days, with four keynote lectures and 17 sessions for the presentation and discussion of scientific papers. During the event, together with colleagues from Brazil and abroad, we also founded the Brazilian Association for Research in Original Institutional Economics, EINST, based in Araraquara and established with 64 founding members.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to AFEE, especially through CORIC, for the support that helped make this event possible. I am also sincerely grateful to all colleagues from the association who contributed to this important moment.

 

Regards,

Rodrigo Jerônimo
