For those working in American economics: 
 
Oxford University Press is looking for contributors to the new version of 
the American National Biography which is to be forthcoming in the next  
couple of years. You can request further info and a list of available  
subjects from: 
 
ANB <[log in to unmask]> 
 
 
The lists of subjects are divided into categories. I requested the "social  
Sciences" category, and found the following economists still available.  
For each of these individuals, the ANB is looking for a biography of  
less than 1000 words, and they offer a small cash payment for accepted  
biographies. [Their list changes rapidly, so my listing of subjects here  
is simply an indication of what they are doing, not a guarantee that the  
subject will be available for you to write about!].

Chamberlin, Edward Hastings

subjects is closed -- they will not consider further nominations.
