Call for Papers:
The Bureau for Research and Economic Analysis of
Development (BREAD) will host its Spring conference in
Washington, D.C. on April 8-9, 2005. You are invited to submit
a paper for the conference. The deadline for submissions is
March 6, 2005. The papers will be selected for the meeting
by Marianne Bertrand and Maitreesh Ghatak.
Please submit your papers via
email to
BREAD@lse.ac.uk
While all papers presented at the conference will be
selected through this open submission process, please note
that we will have time for a very small number of
presentations. The conference lasts only 1.5 days, there will
be no parallel sessions, and we plan to leave ample time for
discussion.
