The year 2027 marks the centennial of the creation of the Austrian Institute for Business Cycle Research (Institut für Konjunkturforschung), founded in 1927 by Mises and directed by Hayek. The establishment of the Institute marks the start of the Austrian masters’ decades-long collaboration in developing and extending Austrian theory. Their work constitutes the core of the Austrian corpus today, and their contributions secured the School’s theoretical relevance throughout the 20th century and beyond. Hayek’s work at the Institute also led to his winning the economics “Nobel” in 1974.
To celebrate this milestone, the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics will publish a special issue in 2027 featuring scholarly articles on the works of Mises and Hayek and the ideas, theories, and literature they inspired in the past century. A fitting tribute to the intellectual achievements of these two economists, it draws attention to their enduring influence within and beyond economics. By fostering dialogue across generations and disciplines, the issue will contribute to the ongoing vitality of Austrian economics.
This special issue will be guest edited by Per Bylund and Jonathan Newman with assistance from Ryan Turnipseed. The editors are now accepting original scholarly contributions for the issue.
