2010 Cliometrics Conference

The annual Cliometrics Conference in 2010 will be held on the weekend of Friday, May 21st through Sunday May 23rd.  The conference will be hosted by the University of Wisconsin La Crosse.  Funding to help support the conference is provided by the National Science Foundation and the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse.  

The conference is designed to provide extensive discussion of new and innovative research in economic history.  Typically, twelve papers are selected for presentation and discussion.  These are sent out to all conference participants in advance.  Each paper is a single session, in which authors have five minutes to make an opening statement and the rest of the session is devoted to discussion among all conference participants.  All participants are required to read all papers and to attend the entire conference.  At least one author must be a member of the Cliometrics Society.  For membership information contact Michael Haupert at <haupert.mich at uwlax.edu>

The deadline for paper proposals and requests to attend the meeting is Wednesday, January 6th, 2010.  Proposals and requests will be accepted as early as December 15th, 2009.  We can only invite a limited number of participants, so it is important to be prompt.  Those wishing to present a paper should provide an abstract and a 3-5 page summary of the proposed paper.  In choosing papers and participants, priority will be given to those who have not attended recently or who have never attended.  Graduate students wishing to attend should submit a paper proposal and obtain a letter of recommendation from their dissertation advisor.  Those wishing to present papers or attend the conference should provide their addresses, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail addresses.  Those whose papers are selected for presentation will be notified by Monday, February 1st, 2010 and are expected to provide a completed draft of the paper in the proper format for the conference volume no later than Ma!
rch 3rd, 2010.
