Call for Abstracts: Workshop I: "Adverse Allies: Logical Empiricism and Austrian Economics"
by Alexander Linsbichler 10 Sep '24

10 Sep '24

*Call for Abstracts:* *Workshop I: Adverse Allies: Logical Empiricism and Austrian EconomicsThe FWF ESPRIT research project “Adverse Allies: Logical Empiricism and Austrian Economics”, the Institute of Philosophy and Scientific Method (JKU Linz), the Institute Vienna Circle (University of Vienna), and the Vienna Circle Society host two workshops in 2025. The organizers seek submissions for contributed talks for the first workshop now.Deadline for Submissions: 31.10.2024* Notification: 30.11.2024 *Workshop I in Vienna: 12.02.-14.02.2025* Save the date for workshop II in Linz: 23.09.-25.09.2025 --- Logical empiricism and Austrian economics are arguably the two internationally most influential intellectual movements with Viennese roots. The Vienna Circle and the Austrian School have shaped the development of philosophical, scientific, and political debate in the 20th century. In the 21st century, logical empiricism has undergone extensive re-evaluation, while the Austrian School experiences another revival. Yet, despite numerous connections and interactions between the two movements, their relationship has captured surprisingly sparse attention in the historical and philosophical literature. If an account is provided at all, logical empiricists and Austrian economists are portrayed as philosophically, scientifically, and politically antithetical groups. Among the most frequently mentioned contrastive pairs of catchwords are empiricism vs apriorism, formal methods vs verbal reasoning, and socialism vs classical liberalism. Acknowledging the existence of disagreements between logical empiricism and the Austrian School, recent scholarship has challenged the received view of antithetical opposition by reconstructing hitherto neglected compatibilities and similarities between the two movements. This workshop aims to advance historical as well as systematic discussions on the relationship between logical empiricism and Austrian economics. Contributions that fruitfully inform contemporary debates in philosophy, methodology, politics, or the sciences are particularly welcome. *Topics for talks in workshop I include but are not limited to: * · pros and cons of formal methods in the social sciences (index numbers, models, …) · counterfactual reasoning and thought experiments (imaginary constructions, scientific utopianism, Robinsonades, …) · the socialist calculation debates · assessments of social welfare and universal basic income · notions of rationality, irrationality, and pseudorationality · justifications of praxeology · explications of the fundamental axiom of praxeology · the quest for certainty and fallibilism · origins and methodology of game theory · methodological reflections: rational reconstructions, … *The second workshop in Linz will focus on: · Karl Menger and Felix Kaufmann as mediators between LE and AE · common influences: Frege, Husserl, Kant, Mach, Wittgenstein · non-cognitivism, the fact/value distinction, and the ideal of value-neutrality · the principle of tolerance and polylogism · logical tolerance, methodological tolerance, political liberalism · logicism and the logic of action · naturalism vs antinaturalism, unity vs disunity of science, scientific pluralism and pseudorationality · essentialism and its discontents (Menger, Wieser, Neurath, Popper, Rothbard,…) · defenses of democracy in Viennese Late Enlightenment · expertise, education, and democracy* *Abstracts should be 300-400 words (including references, if needed) and submitted here: * https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd5Mg7ThW9ufbzUkJcEk7ZodNnraJ7PuiZ… *Confirmed Speakers:* Erwin Dekker, Catherine Herfeld, Karl-Friedrich Israel, Reinhard Neck, Elisabeth Nemeth, Edoardo Peruzzi, Lukas Starchl, Richard Sturn, Adam Tamas Tuboly, Sophie Veigl, Igor Wysocki *Scientific Committee: *Alexander Linsbichler, Julian Reiss, Georg Schiemer, Friedrich Stadler *Queries:* Alexander Linsbichler (alexander.linsbichler(a)jku.at)

NOeG Keynotes as streams
by Klaus Salhofer 10 Sep '24

10 Sep '24

Dear colleagues: The two keynote lectures of this year’s NOeG conference are also publicly available via streams Keynote Lecture 1 by Katheline Schubert (University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and Paris School of Economics) Time: Monday, 02/Sept/2024: 17:30 - 19:00 LINK: https://www.youtube.com/live/N7hN4-dwBK0 (The keynote is part of the Opening Session of the conference. Stream starts at 17:30, Keynote Lecture starts at about 17:50) Title: Sobriety. A necessity to fight climate change? Abstract Given the slow pace of progress in climate policy, policymakers are increasingly focusing on reducing demand for energy-intensive goods and services as a crucial component of the energy transition. This is "energy sobriety," defined in this talk as the voluntary reduction of demand, particularly at the household level. Key factors such as education, information, and behavioral nudges play a vital role in fostering changes in preferences and reducing behavioral biases to achieve this sobriety.However, energy sobriety cannot rely solely on individual actions. The talk underscores the importance of societal changes, including infrastructure development and the evolution of social norms, to support more sustainable lifestyles. Moreover, while voluntary behavioral changes are essential, they are insufficient on their own. Achieving significant emission reductions requires comprehensive and ambitious climate policies, along with broad societal and infrastructural transformations.The talk finally highlights the need for equity in these efforts, emphasizing that wealthier individuals and nations should bear a greater share of the burden. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keynote Lecture 2 by Karsten Neuhoff (Technical University Berlin and DIW) and Panel Discussion (Tara Estl (Austrian Institute of Technology), Karl Gruber (Wien Energie) and Jürgen Schneider (Ministry of Climate Protection); Marlene Nowotny (Moderator, Ö1)) Time: Tuesday, 03/Sept/2024: 11:30 - 13:00 LINK: https://www.youtube.com/live/LDYUrC9VKbw Title: Changing paradigms – how can electricity market design support reliable affordability and a clean and resilient energy system? Abstract The energy crisis and global energy technology developments have triggered a revision of energy policy objectives, from short-term cost minimization to reliable affordability, from a focus on clean energy sources like wind and solar to clean energy systems with sufficient flexibility to match wind- and solar production, and from securing adequate generation capacity to ensuring resilient energy systems. The implications for power market design can be illustrated with economic and institutional analysis of three reform options discussed at national and European level: (i) A renewable energy pool to provide long-term hedges for producers and consumers (ii) A transition towards local pricing to incentivize investment and use of demand side flexibility for congestion management (iii) A reliability reserve to address mid-transition uncertainties while retaining incentives for flexibility and hedging. Synergies that can be realized across such options illustrate how important an integrated perspective will be for the upcoming reforms.

Referent: Wolfgang Weigel Kommentar: Armin Kammel Es ist mehr als ein Gedankenexperiment: Können Rechtsnormen bzw. Gerichtsurteile in Anwendung von Rechtsnormen Kriterien der gesellschaftlichen Effizienz verfehlen, ohne dass der Jurisprudenz entsprechende Korrektive möglich sind? Derartige Fälle suggerieren, dass ex ante keine entsprechenden Analysen erfolgt sind. Gegebenenfalls ist dann zum Beispiel an eine Novellierung zu denken. Was aber, wenn die Verfehlung einer gesellschaftlich effizienten Lösung erst in Anwendung der Rechtsnorm sichtbar wird? Oder aber: die (gesellschaftlich) effiziente Lösung durch widersprechende Rechtsnormen behindert wird. Manch ein derartiger Konflikt kann möglicherweise durch Anwendung von Kollisionsnormen überwunden werden; was aber, wenn das nicht im Bereich der Lösungsmenge liegt?
