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: Frank den Butter and Mary Morgan Tinbergen Institute, Keizersgracht 482, 1017 EG Amsterdam, The Netherlands (fax: 31-20-551-3555) The deadline for sending proposals is May 1st, 1996.
