CALL FOR PAPERS: 2026 ERINN ANNUAL CONFERENCE 

The 2026 ERINN annual conference will be held at the University of Namur (Belgium) on June 15-16, 2026. We are issuing an open call for papers; theoretical and empirical contributions are all welcome. If you have a paper you would like to be considered for presentation, please submit it by Sunday February 1, 2026 here:

https://editorialexpress.com/conference/ERINN2026/

The conference program will be determined by the beginning of March.  ERINN aims to cover the travel and local expenses of one presenter per selected paper.  

The ERINN Network (https://erinneconomics.com/) convenes researchers who share a common vision concerning the impact of social forces – particularly identity, norms, and narratives – in shaping economic outcomes. The basic premise is that economic activity takes place in social contexts which structure and co-determine people’s preferences, beliefs, and constraints. A goal of this network is to bring these processes to the forefront of economic analysis. We look forward to seeing you in Namur!
