![The Political Economy working group is pleased to invite you to a workshop on Friday, 30 January, 2026, at the Université Saint-Louis - Bruxelles. Founded during the ABSP Congress in February 2024, this group aims to contribute to the advancement and growth of the field of political economy in Belgium.
The workshop will be divided into two parts:
The morning session is open to all PhD students wishing to present the progress of their research, whether in the form of a thesis project, an article or a chapter. Each PhD student will have 40 to 50 minutes for discussion with attending researchers.
The afternoon session is open to all researchers interested in presenting a publication or work-in progress related to the various key themes driving our Political Economy Working Group: European governance, financial regulation, central banks policies and communication, the political economy of the green transition, the role of States in a globalized and financialized world, among others.
Contributions are welcome in either French or English. Presentations should generally be delivered in English.
Next steps:
To propose a presentation for the morning or afternoon sessions, send a title and abstract of no more than 400 words to aurelien.goutsmedt[at]uclouvain.be and zsuzsanna.szeredi[at]uclouvain.be by December 1, 2025. If you wish to present in the PhD morning session, please indicate this clearly in your submission.
Notification of acceptance will be sent by December 19, 2025.
Manuscripts (working papers, chapters or drafts) will be requested by January 16, 2025, in order to give discussants and other participants sufficient time to prepare. We recommend manuscripts of between 5,000 to 10,000 words.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l4mvwchewa4b2evkd36m2avr/bafkreibdgbzdt4jeevbbs2v76wias3glj3nps2illii7rqbxttcwrmklhu@jpeg)

What do economists do in central banks? How did they come to play such a central role?
We're excited to share the first draft of a Cambridge University Press Elements book project on how economists became key figures in central banking over the twentieth century.

Scientization is often used in research on central banks—but what does it really mean? We break it down into 3 dimensions: contributory, policymaking and legitimizing scientizations.
We trace the BoE's contributiory scientization (ie academic knowledge producer) using quali and quanti approaches.

How does gender affect the choice of Ph.D. topics in France in economics?

With @thomasdelcey.bsky.social we continue to explore our data on PhD in economics in France since 1900. This is another example of potential applications with these data.

Bergmann's approach focused on the distributional effects of policies—long before agent-based modeling was in vogue.
Our paper examines how her simulations offered a fresh lens on modeling policy intervention in the 1970s, challenging both Keynesian mainstream and Lucas' new classical approach
