Call for Papers: We are soliciting abstracts on all topics related to economics. Please submit abstracts on line using the link below. You may pay on line, or if you prefer, you may print out the PDF submission form and pay with a check. Even if you do that, however, please submit the abstract itself on line. It makes our record keeping easier. Also please remember to put your name and the title of your paper on your abstract.

The DEADLINE for abstract submissions is THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2012.
