Political Economy Seminars

Find seminars on political economy that are open to Stanford GSB faculty and PhD students, or request permission to attend.

Political economy seminars are held on Wednesdays from 12:00 to 1:15 p.m., unless otherwise indicated. Stanford GSB faculty may also schedule a session to meet the speaker individually.

Political Economy Theory Lunch

A forum for those interested in political economy theory to discuss ideas and to present new work. We have presentations most Fridays. The lunch is open to faculty and PhD students from the GSB, the departments of economics and political science, and across the university.

On Fridays without a talk, we will gather for an informal lunch in E259. All are welcome.
