October 17-19, 2003

October, 2003 is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Joan Robinson, one of the most innovative and prolific economists of the twentieth century. John Kenneth Galbraith has called her the "most diversely interesting economist" of his generation, a person whose work was imbued with a "deeply ingrained suspicion of the accepted view." To celebrate her contributions, the Department of Economics at the University of Vermont is hosting the Joan Robinson Centennial Conference in Burlington, Vermont, USA, the weekend of October 17 through 19, 2003.

The Joan Robinson Centennial Conference assembles leading international economists to present work reflecting on Robinson’s contribution to economic knowledge, demonstrating her on-going influence on new research in the fields of growth theory, money, and macro policy, and industrial organization.
