Call for papers - Economics Network at 8th ESSHC April 2010
The Economics Network of the European Social Science History Conference invites session and paper proposals for the Eighth ESSHC, which will be held at the Bijloke Site in Ghent, Belgium, 13 - 16 April 2010. (More information on the conference can be found at [url]http://www.iisg.nl/esshc/economics2010.php[/url]
Deadline for paper and session proposals is 1 May 2009.
We appreciate proposals concerning economic aspects of labour and labour relations, and we generated a list of topics of interest to the members present:
- Inequality and labor relations
- Acquisition of human capital and social mobility
- Insights from the Early Modern period which critique the neo-classical paradigm
- Industriousness and economic growth
- Institutions as engine of economic growth or precursor to stagnation This list is not exhaustive, but meant only to stimulate ideas
The Economics Network anticipates sponsoring 10 sessions of four papers each at these meetings, given the limitations imposed by the size of the overall conference.
Please note that the network chairs are especially eager to see complete session proposals, as we find that this is conducive to intellectual coherence in sessions. However, promising single paper submissions will be given every consideration, and we will try to find them compatible sessions for inclusion. Please register on time!
