History

The European Workshop on General Equilibrium Theory (EWGET) allows participants to present and be informed of the latest developments in general equilibrium theory and its applications in other areas of economics, such as financial markets, decision theory, game theory, economics of information, contract theory, microeconomic theory, public economic theory, theory of finance, networks, macroeconomic and monetary theory.

EWGET was initiated in 1991. The first meeting was held in Geneva (1991). Since then, meetings have been organized yearly at the European University Institute, Florence (1992), CORE, Université Catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve (1993, 1997), Københavns Universitet, Copenhagen (1994, 1999), Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (1995, 1998), Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Paris (2000), Universiteit Maastricht (2001), National Technical University of Athens (2002), Universität Bielefeld (2003), Universitá Ca' Foscari, Venice (2004), Universität Zurich (2005), Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Lisbon (2006), Queen Mary University of London / University of Warwick (2007), and Universitá di Salerno (2008).

Starting in 2001, the Journal of Mathematical Economics has published a Special Conference Issue with papers presented in the workshop, along with papers presented in the annual NSF-CEME-NBER General Equilibrium Conference held in the United States. Since 2005, this special issue also includes papers presented in the Asian and Brazilian General Equilibrium conferences (GETA and LATECO), and in the CARESS-Cowles Conference on General Equilibrium Theory and Applications organized in the United States. This year, in addition, the Journal of Mathematical Economics will prepare a Special Issue in honor of Andreu Mas-Colell.

In the Bielefeld meeting, the EWGET initiated a plenary lecture to  be given each year by an acclaimed theorist who made major contributions to economic  theory. This lecture was named the Debreu lecture starting at the Zurich meeting. The first plenary lectures were given by Leo Hurwicz (2003), Werner Hildenbrand (2004),  Graciela Chichilnisky (2005), David Cass (2006),  Andreu Mas-Colell (2007),  Roger Guesnerie (2008) and  Roy Radner will present the 2009 EWGET  Debreu  Lecture.
