Call for Papers:
The Bureau for Research and Economic Analysis of
Development (BREAD) will host its Fall conference at
Harvard/MIT on September 30 - October 1, 2005. You are invited to submit
a paper for the conference. The deadline for submissions is
July 18, 2005.
Please submit your papers via
email to
BREAD@lse.ac.uk
While all papers presented at the conference will be
selected through this open submissions 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.
The Spring 2006 conference will be held at Cornell
University May 5-6, 2006.
