Trust,
Reciprocity and Social Capital
The 2006 Ratio Colloquium for Young Social Scientists
Stockholm, Sweden, August 25-26, 2006
Presentation
The aim of this conference is to bring together research
and researchers in different fields dealing with trust, reciprocity
and social capital. In this quickly growing area of research,
there is big need for interdisciplinary communication. We
therefore invite young scholars, including graduate students,
in political science, economics, economic history, sociology,
law, psychology, business administration and related disciplines
to submit proposals for a two-day colloquium/workshop to be
held in Stockholm. In addition to ordinary sessions, there
will be two plenary sessions and a dinner.
Call for Papers
Papers dealing with the following areas are particularly
welcome:
• The measurement of trust and social capital.
• The determinants of trust and social capital.
• Consequences of trust, reciprocity and social capital.
• The evolution of cooperation.
• Experimental research in these fields, including approaches
from behavioral economics and psychology.
• Work comparing market institutions with political institutions
with regard to how they affect the formation of trust and
social capital.
The papers submitted are expected to be work in progress
– more than ideas, but still unpublished.
The number of papers that will be accepted is limited to
18. The conference and lodging
will be free of charge, and we will reimburse travel expenses.
To apply for the conference, send a one-page abstract of your
paper, a one-page summary of your research interests and a
CV to andreas.bergh@ratio.se
and niclas.berggren@ratio.se
Deadline for submitting proposals
is February 15, 2006.
Conference's Organization
