2010 HOPE Conference:
History of Econometrics as an Exact and Inseparate Science

The 2010 History of Political Economy Conference will be devoted to 
study the history of econometrics as an exact and inseparate science, 
to be held at Duke University, Durham NC, USA. The project is headed 
by the editors Marcel Boumans (University of Amsterdam), Duo Qin 
(University of London) and Ariane Dupont-Kieffer (Inrets). Our 
editorial aims are expressed in a prospectus, which will be sent by 
email on request.

The conference is one of a series of annual conferences that, 
starting in 1989, have been held each spring on a particular topic in 
the history of political economy. The conferences are sponsored by 
the journal, History of Political Economy, with the continuing 
support of Duke University Press. HOPE conferences are small and 
generally invitation-only events. However, a small number of places 
may be open for additional participants. The editors will select a 
number of the papers to be published in a conference volume (a 
special number of HOPE, published in hardcover and distributed 
separately as a book as well).

The 2010 HOPE Conference will be focused on history of econometrics 
in relation to the history of other disciplines and papers on the 
history of 'outside-west' econometrics are particularly welcome. 
Should you be interested in contributing to the conference, please 
submit an abstract of 1000 words to one of the editors (deadline 1 June 2009):
