Approach. Empirical work on the poorest regions in the world would be 
particularly welcome. The final day of the conference will be dedicated to 
study group sessions and a plenary discussion session with Professor 
Amartya Sen. The deadline for submission of paper proposals is 19 FEBRUARY 
2001 and full papers will be due on 1 May 2001.
