Every year, the Mises Institute hosts the world’s largest academic event for Austrian Economists. Mises Fellow Jonathan Newman summed up this year’s conference:
Economists, philosophers, business scholars, and political scientists from all over the world flocked to Auburn, Alabama recently for the 2015 Austrian Economics Research Conference. They came to share their own research and new ideas and to collaborate and comment on other scholars’ work. There were 140 attendees from 15 different countries, 30 US states, and 42 different colleges and universities. By the generosity of Mises Institute donors, 31 students were able to attend on scholarship, 11 of whom presented their own papers. I’m included in that last category, and so I think I can speak for the others when I express deep gratitude for this great opportunity.
In other words, it was the year’s best event for Austrian-School scholars to collaborate and work together on new research and help each other advance in their teaching, scholarly, and professional careers.
In addition to the panels and workshops, the Institute also brings in notable senior scholars and top professionals to provide their own insights. Below are all the named lectures from this year’s Austrian Economics Research Conference, including:
“On Man, Nature, Truth, and Justice” by Hans-Hermann Hoppe,
“Government Barriers to Economic Growth” by John Tamny of Forbes Magazine, Editor of Real Clear Markets,
“Entrepreneurship, Austrian Economics, and the Cryptorevolution” by Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com

“The Missing Element in Modern Economics” by John Mueller
