The First History of Economics Diversity Caucus Conference, held in 2023, brought together scholars from diverse backgrounds to explore the history of economic thought and methodology. The conference featured a range of presentations and discussions, covering topics such as the contributions of women and minorities to economic analysis, the evolution of economic theory over time, and the use of empirical research methods in economics.

One of the highlights of the conference was the presentation of new research essays by Roger Sandilands and his co-authors. Sandilands, a renowned economist, is known for his work on economic development and growth, and his essay explores the role of institutions and governance in promoting economic growth. He argues that effective institutions, such as strong property rights and efficient government, are essential for promoting economic development and reducing poverty.

Another notable essay in the volume is by Daniel Schiffman and Eli Goldstein, who examine the impact of technology on economic growth and inequality. They argue that while technology has the potential to create new opportunities and improve productivity, it can also lead to increased inequality and job displacement. They suggest that policymakers should consider the distributional consequences of technological change and implement policies to promote social mobility and economic equality.

The conference also featured an interview with Francis Wilson, a renowned economist and former president of the American Economic Association. In the interview, Wilson discussed his career in economics, his contributions to economic theory, and his views on the current state of economic research. He emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary research and the need to bring different perspectives and disciplines together to address complex economic problems.

Overall, Volume 41B of Research in the History of Economic Thought and Methodology provides a valuable contribution to the field of economic history. The collection of papers and interviews showcases the latest research and insights into the history of economic thought and methodology, and highlights the importance of diversity and inclusion in economic analysis.
