Call for Papers:  The 8th annual Summer Institute for the Preservation of the History of
Economics will be held at George Mason University, June 4-7th, 2007.  The Institute offers
a forum for distinguished scholars and graduate students to present work in progress or
more polished papers to a lively audience.  Past speakers include Brad Bateman, James
Buchanan, Dave Colander, William Coleman, Dan Hammond, Samuel Hollander, M. Ali Khan,
David Levy, Deirdre McCloskey, Phil Mirowski, David Mitch, Leon Montes, Maria Paganelli,
Warren Samuels, Eric Schleisser, Anthony Waterman, and Roy Weintraub.  This year, the
Institute will take place directly before the History of Economics annual conference, also
at GMU, 8th-11 June 2007.  We encourage scholars to attend both conferences.
  
We are especially interested in participation by upper level undergraduates and graduate
students in economics or related disciplines.  The department of economics at George Mason
and the History of Economics Society enables us to subsidize some student participation up
to the amount of $500 per student.
  
We welcome proposals on any topic. We are particularly interested in sessions relating to
these topics:  Models and Language; Locating Adam Smith; Experts and Economics;
Schumpeterian Themes; Beliefs; and Schools of Economic Thought.
  
As in past years, we hope that the Institute will be supported by the Earhart Foundation.
Much of the support is used to recompense speakers for their participation in the
Institute.  Conference events also include good coffee and continental breakfasts,
lunches, as well as one or two working dinners.  For additional information, see
