EMPIRICAL MODELS AND POLICY MAKING 
 
TINBERGEN INSTITUTE IN AMSTERDAM 
 
CALL FOR PAPERS 
 
A conference on the interaction between Empirical Models and 
Policy Making will be hosted by the Tinbergen Institute in 
Amsterdam in May 1997. Serious case studies are invited which 
investigate the two-way interaction between economic models and 
economic policy practice, covering, for example, both the flow of 
information from modellers and the ways in which policy 
requirements affect model development. We welcome proposals not 
only from 'insiders' working with models in the policy 
environment, but also from 'outsiders' such as historians and 
sociologists of modern economics. 
 
Please send requests for further information and paper proposals 
(1-page) to:

Tinbergen Institute,

1017 EG Amsterdam,

(fax: 31-20-551-3555) 
 
The deadline for sending proposals is May 1st, 1996.
