Since 1998 the Urrutia Elejalde has annually organized a Summer School
on frontier topics between philosophy, economics and other social
sciences, bringing together scholars from all these fields to explore
them. The aim of this year Summer School is to introduce participants to
the vast research that is taking place in the area of social norms.
>From philosophy and psychology to evolutionary game theory and
experimental economics, recent work on social norms is shedding light on
why and under what circumstances people engage in pro-social behavior,
and how norms may emerge, stabilize or decay.

We encourage submission of papers that cover one or more of the above
areas. The scientific committe will consider a number of submissions by
young scholars at graduate or postgraduate level. The Foundation will
cover the registration fees and accomodation expenses of the authors.

Please send a 2000 words pdf abstract to David Teira (dteira [at]
fsof.uned.es) before Jan 31st 2008. A decision will be made by March 15th.
