====================== HES POSTING ===================== FROM: Yngve Ramstad, President-Elect, Association for Evolutionary Economics DATE: February 1, 1999 CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR EVOLUTIONARY ECONOMICS The next annual meeting of the Association for Evolutionary Economics will be held in conjunction with meetings of the Allied Social Sciences Association (ASSA) on January 7, 8, and 9, 2000 in Boston. There will be no general theme for the meeting. However, I want especially to encourage papers that utilize heterodox modes of analysis to examine vital continuing and emerging economic developments and policy issues. Among such "developments and issues" are: the accelerating consolidation of the global industrial order; labor market consequences of globalization; the continuing global financial crisis and the wake of misery it is leaving behind; continuing "transition difficulties" in the former Soviet Union and other Eastern European nations; the dangers of (U.S,? world?) deflation; European (and global) adjustment to the Euro; the growing health care crisis in the U.S.; "saving" social security; the continuing fall out from welfare reform; and the unfolding consequences of deregulation. These topic are only suggestive, and others will be given equal consideration. Since 2000 marks the fifty-year anniversary of K. William Kapp's pioneering study, The Social Costs of Private Enterprise, I also invite papers examining the degree to which, after fifty additional years, the system of private enterprise--capitalism--has managed to ameliorate the problems enumerated by Kapp. Finally, as always, papers addressing fundamental issues concerning institutional theory or methodology are also encouraged. Proposals for complete panels (5 papers) on topics falling within these categories will be given special consideration. Those who wish to propose a complete panel should have each potential participant submit their own abstract as detailed below. Please do not hesitate to contact me by email at [log in to unmask] or by telephone at (401) 874-4113 if you have questions in regard to developing a panel proposal.
