The History of Economics Society (HES) has traveled a long way throughout its fifty conferences, from the first one organized by Warren Samuels and Vincent Tarascio on May 30 and 31, 1973, in Chicago, to the fiftieth annual meetings that took place on June 23 to 25, 2023, in Vancouver, Canada. This journey can be analyzed in different ways, and here we focus on the presidential addresses delivered as a guide to our analysis. From the conference programs we identified a total of forty-four presidential addresses: the first to appear on the conference program was Vincent Tarascio’s speech on Vilfredo Pareto, on the second day of the Boston conference in 1975. Since 1975, presidential addresses have become a regular feature of the conference, with rare exceptions such as the 1977 Irvine, CA, conference or in the recent years when Marcel Boumans’s presidential address was postponed from 2020 to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Of the forty-four presidential addresses in the history of HES, we analyzed the forty-one that were published in scholarly journals (see Table 1). However, we could not find whether two presidential addresses—specifically Joseph Spengler, HES conference 1976, Chicago; and Carl Uhr, HES conference 1978, Toronto—have been published. Moreover, Robert Leonard has not published the address he delivered at the 2015 HES conference but two related papers.

从总统讲话的角度看经济思想史

经济学史学会 (HES) 在其五十次会议中走过了漫长的道路，从 1973 年 5 月 30 日至 31 日在芝加哥由 Warren Samuels 和 Vincent Tarascio 组织的第一次会议，到 6 月举行的第五十次年会2023 年 23 日至 25 日，加拿大温哥华。这段旅程可以用不同的方式进行分析，这里我们重点关注总统的讲话，作为我们分析的指南。从会议议程中，我们总共确定了 44 篇主席讲话：第一个出现在会议议程中的是 1975 年波士顿会议第二天文森特·塔拉西奥 (Vincent Tarascio) 关于维尔弗雷多·帕累托 (Vilfredo Pareto) 的演讲。自 1975 年以来，主席讲话已成为会议的常规内容，但也有罕见的例外，例如 1977 年在加利福尼亚州欧文举行的会议，或近年来由于 COVID-19 大流行，Marcel Boumans 的主席演讲从 2020 年推迟到 2022 年。在 HES 历史上的 44 次总统讲话中，我们分析了发表在学术期刊上的 41 次（见表 1）。然而，我们无法找到是否有两次总统演讲——特别是约瑟夫·斯宾格勒 (Joseph Spengler)，1976 年芝加哥 HES 会议；和 Carl Uhr，HES 会议 1978 年，多伦多 — 已出版。此外，罗伯特·伦纳德并没有发表他在2015年HES会议上的演讲，而是发表了两篇相关论文。
