Description (of YSI):
YSI (Young Scholar's Initiative) is a collective of students and
young professionals who are interested in new economic thinking.
It is an offshoot of the Institute for New Economic Thinking and
receives funding from this source.
One of the main goals of YSI is to foster and facilitate conversation
between like-minded peers and the Institute's vast network of economists;
the community provides a stepping-stone to make the discipline more
accessible for the casually interested and those still “learning
the ropes”.
INET also actively promotes and supports the interaction and co-operation
of economists with researches from other disciplines, such as history,
philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, physics or
mathematics. Please see http://ineteconomicsorg/ysi
for more information.
There already is an active co-operation between INET and the Fields
institute, initiated by Matheus Grasselli, who organized the workshop
“Mathematics
for New Economic Thinking” in the year 2013 .
He has also given a video-interview How
Advanced Mathematics Can Support New Economic Thinking
INET's 2014 Annual conference "Human After All" was held
in Toronto in April 2014, and prior to the conference, the Fields
institute hosted a workshop of YSI (http://ineteconomics.org/ysi/events/workshop-toronto).
