The Faculty of Economics, Chulalongkorn University, in collaboration with the Asian Historical Economics Society (AHES), will organize the Seventh Asian Historical Economic Conference (AHEC 2020). The conference will be held at Chulalongkorn University on Friday-Saturday, September 25-26, 2020.
Conference information:
This two-day conference follows earlier conferences of the Asian Historical Economics Society in Venice (2008), Beijing (2010), Tokyo (2012), Istanbul (2014), Seoul (2016), and Hong Kong (2018). The conference aims to bring together researchers working on the economic history of all regions of Asia, as well as those comparing Asia with other regions of the world. This year's keynote speakers are Professor Jean-Pascal Bassino (Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France) and Professor Pasuk Phongpaichit (Chulalongkorn University).
AHEC 2020 invites papers exploring various aspects of Asian economic history. We especially encourage participation by scholars working at institutions in Southeast Asia, as well as graduate students working on the economic history of Asia. Pending funding, the conference may be able to offset some expenses for graduate student participants and a scholar from an ASEAN institution.
