Economic history in and around Paris

This page attempts to list the research-oriented events in economic history that take place in the Paris area. We hope it will be especially useful to researchers and PhD candidates visiting or staying in France. Although it does not claim to be exhaustive, it relies on a broad understanding of what constitutes economic history and includes events falling under a variety of subject headings (history, economics, management, sociology, etc.).

We mostly report information posted on the list histoire_eco@groupes.renater.fr and on the page “Histoire économique” of Calenda. This page is updated around the 25th of each month by Anna Egea (CSO, Sciences Po).
