CALL FOR PAPERS

We are pleased to announce that the 2nd Henan Symposium on Development and Institutional Economics will be held on June 20-21, 2015, in Kaifeng, Henan Province, China, followed by a one-day excursion. The School of Economics of Henan University will host the symposium. The organizers of the symposium welcome your submission in the areas of long run economic development broadly defined to include economic history, international trade and finance, and institutional economics etc. The first symposium was successfully held in Kaifeng in 2014, whose program can be found at http://econ.henu.edu.cn/Content/317.shtml

Pacific Economic Review (PER) has agreed to publish a special section of the selected papers, particularly those on or closely related to economic history, from this symposium. Authors who are interested for this publication opportunity should indicate their intention when submitting to the Symposium. Papers to be considered for the publication on PER will go through the usual anonymous refereeing process although effort will be made to expedite the review.

The Symposium will gather a group of scholars who are very active in their research frontiers, such as Kenneth Chan, Biung-Ghi Ju, Kwan Choi, Daniel Berkowitz, Wesley Wilson, Peter Egger, Chi Chur Chao, Hong Hwang, Wuyang Hu, Guenter Heiduk, and Lex Zhao.
