Dear Colleague,
Please consider these announcements and share them with others. The deadline for our call for papers has been extended to November 28th. Leadership Training Seminar at the Annual Conference of the Eastern Economic Association On February 25th there will be a special one-day training seminar that is being offered by the Eastern Economic Association during its annual conference in Washington, DC. It takes place the day before the conference sessions begin. People may attend the seminar as a separate event, or may attend it as part of the conference. The cost (which includes lunch) is $230. The seminar is entitled, "Principles of Ethics, Scientific Integrity, and Responsible Leadership: A One-Day Training Seminar for Economists." It is being taught by Distinguished Professors George DeMartino and Deirdre McCloskey, authors of the Oxford Handbook of Professional Economic Ethics, with presentations by Erica Groshen, Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics; Keith Hall, Director of the Congressional Budget Office; and Brian Moyer, Director of Bureau of Economic Analysis. The keynote luncheon speaker will be Professor William Easterly who will discuss his new book, The Tyranny of Experts. Also speaking will be Amelie Constant (IZA), Samuel Otoo (World Bank), W. Charles Sawyer (Texas Christian University), and Benjamin Simon (Dept. of the Interior).
