Call for papers: Future Research in Economic and Social History (FRESH) Meeting Event: Copenhagen Fresh Meeting

Publicado el 11-02-10

Theme: All topics are welcome
Date: Friday 25 June 2010
Venue: Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen

FRESH meetings are aimed at researchers in any field of economic and social history. At the Copenhagen FRESH Meeting, Jaime Reis, professor of economic history at the University of Lisbon and co-editor of the
European Review of Economic History, will give the opening keynote address, as well as comment on the papers presented at the meeting. Also, Katarina Juselius, professor of economics and author of "The Cointegrated VAR Model" (OUP, 2006), will give a talk on the use (and misuse) of time series analysis, and the suitability of the cointegrated VAR model for econometric work in economic history.

The FRESH meetings build on the concept that scholars present their ongoing research at an early stage, i.e. normally before it becomes published as a working paper or the like, and certainly before it is published in books or journals. The main aim of the meetings is to gather researchers in a friendly and non-imposing environment where they can present their research and receive constructive criticism from their peers.

The FRESH meeting organisers strive to accommodate as many speakers as possible. Accepted papers will normally receive 30 minutes each (20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion). However, in the
interest of avoiding parallel sessions, the presentation time may be shortened. In the event of space constraints, please note that FRESH members and members of the hosting faculty (or geographically close
institutions) will be given preference.

The organizers offer lunch, dinner and other refreshments on the day of the meeting, but accommodation and travel must be covered by the participants themselves. Also, there will be a registration fee for this meeting of 70€ payable on acceptance of your submission.

Prospective speakers should submit a one-page abstract and a short CV to: Jacob Weisdorf, e-mail: jacob.weisdorfecon.ku.dk no later than 1 April 2010. Notification of acceptance will be given by the middle of April 2010.

The Copenhagen FRESH meeting is organized by Paul Sharp and Jacob Weisdorf. The meeting is generously sponsored by the Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen.
