The Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics is inviting manuscripts for a special issue on the debates, issues, implications, and progress of Austrian economics over the last 100 years:
The year 2027 marks the centennial of the Austrian Institute for Business Cycle Research (Institut für Konjunkturforschung), founded in 1927 by Mises and directed by Hayek. The Institute marks the start of the Austrian masters' decades-long collaboration in continuing to develop and extend 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.
This special issue of the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics celebrates this milestone and, especially, the works by Mises and Hayek and the ideas, theories, and literature they inspired in the past century. It serves as a fitting tribute to the intellectual achievements of these two economists and 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.
The objectives of the special issue are:
- To commemorate the centenary of Mises and Hayek's collaboration and highlight their intellectual legacies.
- To examine the historical evolution and significance of Austrian economic theory to date.
- To encourage new scholarship that connects past insights with contemporary debates on business cycles, monetary policy, and central planning.
- To provide a platform for interdisciplinary contributions from historians, economists, philosophers, business scholars, and others engaged with Austrian economics.

- The impact and importance of the Austrian Institute for Business Cycle Research, and other institutions such as the Mises Institute
