The Economic Methodology Seminar of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, and the Instituto de Economía Pública, on behalf of the Fundación Urrutia Elejalde, and in cooperation with the Universidad del País Vasco, organized the II Urrutia Elejalde Summer School. Its aim is to promote reflection and discussion about fundamental topics, as well as personal contacts between first rate professors and young researchers. Each session is planned to include two lectures about a key issue in modern economics. One of the lectures will be delivered by an economist, and the other by an economic methodologist, followed by a general discussion. We will also have a short time for communications by other participants.
