AFEE invites proposals for individual papers and 
complete panels for the 2008 AFEE conference.

There is NO overall conference theme although it 
is contemplated that one session will be devoted 
to issues in the history of institutional 
economics, and at that least one session will 
focus on methodological, conceptual, and 
theoretical issues in institutional 
economics.  Papers dealing with policy issues are 
also most welcome.  All papers are expected to 
contribute to the literature of Original 
Institutional Economics in the tradition of 
Commons, Veblen, Mitchell, Hamilton, Kapp, 
Myrdal, and Polyani, as broadly conceived.

The deadline for submission of proposals for 
papers and sessions is April 15, 
2007.  Electronic submissions are strongly 
encouraged.  If receipt of your paper or panel 
proposal has not been acknowledged within two 
weeks of submission, please contact the Program 
Chair.  Authors will be informed whether their 
proposals have been accepted by May 15, 2007.

Proposals for panels may contain up to five 
papers, and must include relevant details of all 
papers to be presented (see below).  Constraints 
imposed by the Allied Social Science Association 
severely limit the number of sessions allocated 
to AFEE.   AFEE deeply regrets that it will be 
necessary to turn down many good proposals.

In considering your topic and preparing your 
abstract, please keep in mind that you will have 
no more than twenty minutes to present your 
paper.  Furthermore, if you wish your paper to be 
considered for publication in the June 2008 
Journal of Economic Issues, the text of your 
paper cannot exceed 2,850 words.  You will be 
allowed two pages of references and two pages of 
tables, or figures.  The deadline for submission 
for the June JEI is December 5, 2007.  JEI 
submission details will be provided to authors 
whose proposals are accepted for the 
conference.  Submission criteria will be strictly enforced by the editor.

At least one of the authors of any paper must be 
a member of AFEE.  Contact 
[log in to unmask] for membership information.

Proposals for papers or panels must be submitted 
to the Program Chair by April 15, 2007.  The 
following information must be submitted for each paper:

a-                  Name(s) of author(s)
b-                 Professional affiliation(s)
c-                  Email address of corresponding author
d-                 Mailing address of corresponding author
e-                  Title of proposed paper
f-                   Abstract of 100 to 200 words
g-                  Your willingness to serve as 
a discussant or session chair (specify field)

I look forward to hearing from you.

Malcolm Rutherford
