Dear Member,

The Local Organizing Committee cordially invites you to the XXIV Pacific Regional Science Conference (PRSCO) and VII Annual Meeting of the Chilean Society of Regional Studies (SOCHER). This event will take place from the 5th to the 8th of August of 2015 and will gather Regional-Science researchers from different places around the globe. We hope that you become part of the discussion and scientific dissemination of our meeting. Studies related to regional and urban economics, local development, decentralization, inter-regional disparities, special econometrics, methods and models in Regional Sciences, among others, will be presented.

The event will take place at the Adolfo Ibáñez University - Viña del Mar campus, Valparaíso, Chile. If you want to present your work in the programmed sessions, the deadline for submitting papers is May 30th. In addition, the SOCHER Committee invites you to submit your work to the Andrew "Andy" Isserman prize. The goal of this prize is to recognize creativity in the pursuit of answers to questions of interest for Regional Science, treated with theoretical and quantitative rigor in the process of investigation. We invite the candidates to present their proposals, declaring whether or not they are applying to the Andrew Isserman Prize. The deadline is June 12th.

On August 5th there will be a workshop on spatial econometrics. More information will be available soon.
