Workshop "Digital Methods in History and Economics", 14-15 October 2021, Deadline CfP: May 31

28. April 2021

The workshop as an integral part of DFG priority programme 1859 “Experience & Expectation: Historical Foundations of Economic Behaviour” aims to bring together and to discuss different applications of digital methods from projects of the priority programme with external scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds with a special emphasis on “text as data”. The purpose of this interdisciplinary workshop is to foster the exchange between the different fields and the exchange between the researchers involved in the priority programme with external scholars.

We especially encourage scholars both from the “quantitative” and the “qualitative” world, i.e., (economic, social) historians and economists, but also scholars involved in social, political, or media studies to apply. Contributions from all fields are equally welcome.

Keynotes will be delivered inter alia by

• Michael McMahon (University of Oxford, and CEPR, Director of the Research Policy Network on Central Bank Communication)
• Melvin Wevers (University of Amsterdam)
• Clemens Neudecker (Staatsbibliothek Berlin)

Deadline abstract submission: May 31, 2021
