Hello fellow Political Methodology Section Members,
This coming year at the Midwest conference (MPSA: 20-23 April 2006), I'm
chairing the new Section 42: Economic Policy, which of course offers
opportunities for folks to present papers on panels, posters in the
poster sessions, &/or serve as chairs &/or discussants on panels just
like any other section. I wanted to bring this section in particular to
your attention for your proposals as it is new, and also I wanted to
remind you of the rapidly impending deadline for proposals to MPSA '06:
October 10 (i.e., next Monday). (Unlike at APSA, space at MPSA is not
currently limited, so they're not counting attendees or proposals or
anything to determine slots, so proposing to Economic Policy does not
harm Political Methodology in any way. Propose to whichever you think
may be most appropriate for your offering-I believe you can propose to
up to 2 sections.) You can propose panels, papers, or posters, or to
serve as chair/discussant in the usual manner online at the MPSA website
(http://www.indiana.edu/~mpsa/proposal/proposal2006.html). Here's the
section's call for proposals:
Section 42 Economic Policy
Rob Franzese, University of Michigan <mailto:[log in to unmask]>
The Economy Policy section invites panels and papers that examine how
domestic and/or international, political and/or economic (a)
institutions (e.g., electoral systems, federalism/unitarism,
presidentialism/parliamentarism, trade agreements, exchange-rate
regimes), (b) structure (e.g., income or age distributions; cleavage
structures; party-system polarization, fractionalization,
competitiveness; global or regional power balances and threats), and/or
(c) events (e.g., elections, riots/coups/revolutions, terms-of-trade
shocks, wars) affect economic policymaking: its character and its
efficacy. Proposals for research papers that develop innovative and
enlightening theoretical models and/or conduct novel and powerful
empirical evaluations are especially welcome.
Thanks, best wishes, & look forward to seeing you in Chicago if not
before,
Rob
