Instructions for SIOE 2023
All talks are at the central lecture hall (Hörsaalzentrum). This is building #13 on the map.
Presenters are asked to provide a 20-minute overview of their paper which will be followed by 10 minutes of discussion. Please bring presentation on a USB key in PowerPoint or PDF formats.
Please reach out to Tristan Stahl t.stahl@econ.uni-frankfurt.de with further questions.
If you prefer to send your presentation, please do so by 21st August indicating SIOE 2023, presentation in subject title.
Chairpersons are responsible for time keeping, 30 minutes per paper including discussion. They should be in the room a few minutes before the session to help in uploading presentations. It might be good to have an extra USB. We have technical support that will rotate across rooms.
There is a small number of sessions with four presentations. We have put them at the end of days. The participants can decide whether they want 22.5 minutes per paper or a bit more and leave to receptions a bit later.
All times are shown in Paris time (CEST, UTC+2) · Underlined = presenting author

Parallel Focus Sessions #6
Session 1: Historical Political Economy (HPE) in SIOE — room HZ7
Chair: Jared Rubin (Chapman)
Participants: Federica Carugati (King’s College London), Scott Gehlbach (U Chicago), Gerard Roland (UC Berkeley), Emily Sellars (Yale University)
Scholars across disciplines have been engaging in historical political economy (HPE) for the last two decades. Only recently, however, have steps been taken to mark HPE as a disciplinary endeavor distinct from its cognates: economic history, political economy, and political history (Jenkins and Rubin 2023) – these include the creation of the blog Broadstreet and the publication of Oxford Handbook of Historical Political Economy. Coinciding with the Handbook’s release, this roundtable aims at publicizing current achievements, as well as reflecting on the discipline’s future development. Participants will reflect on thematic, methodological, and strategic developments, including the contribution that HPE can make to SIOE, and vice versa.
Session 2: Anthropology and Economics — room HZ8
Chair: Paul Seabright (Toulouse)
Participants: Bob Gibbons (MIT), Sarah Mathew (ASU), Blanka Misic (University of Vienna)
Evolutionary anthropologists have emphasized that human learning is: cumulative, with succeeding generations building on the accumulated knowledge of earlier ones; distributed, with no single individual mastering all the elements of knowledge required to achieve social objectives; tacit, in the sense that nobody may know how to communicate it explicitly, rather, it has to be acquired by learners through a process of acculturation and observation. Institutions and organizations engage, consciously and unconsciously, in the transmission of knowledge. They do so via processes that are subject to both persistence and innovation. This session will explore what economists and anthropologists can learn from each other about how this happens.
Session 3: Research with and within Firms — room HZ9
Chair: Decio Coviello (Montreal)
Participants: Morten Bennedsen (University of Copenhagen), Matthias Heinz (University of Cologne), Hideo Owan (Waseda University)
Doing research with firm data is a methodological challenge, but offers insights into what managers and workers really do, and hence informs theoretical work. Different approaches co-exist that use different type of data: nation- or industry-wide observational data, firm-level archival data, or data from RCTs with firms. A second dimension of diversity exists across institutional backgrounds. The panel will discuss new developments, challenges and experiences across North America, Europe and Japan.
