Call for papers from Association for Social Economic and the Association for Evolutionary Economics
Association for Social Economics
Annual ASSA meetings, San Diego, California, January 2004
THEME: Economics and Culture
The relationship between economics and culture is broad and includes numerous and diverse subcategories. At one extreme, very basic views can be taken; ranging, for example, from Karl Polanyi's notion of an embedded economy where social relationships drive economic relationships, to Marx's economic interpretation of history, where the opposite holds true. At the other extreme culture can be narrowly defined, as in an analysis of the effects of economic conditions on the success of symphony orchestras. Between the extremes lie issues such as the impact of attitudes about race, gender, and other human attributes on employment; the effect of culture on consumption patterns and vice versa, and how shared cultural endowments can lower transaction costs in developing economies.
The intention is that each paper explicitly focus on a relationship between economics and culture. The specific attributes of the relationship under consideration as well as its direction(s) will, of course, vary from paper to paper.
There will be nine sessions and a Presidential breakfast address by Charles K. Wilber. Both MEMBERS and NONMEMBERS of the Association for Social Economics are invited to submit proposals. Also, anyone willing and able to organize a session with three or four papers on an appropriate topic is encouraged to submit a proposal.
A selection of papers presented at the sessions will be published in a forthcoming issue of the Forum of Social Economics. To be eligible for consideration, papers must be limited to 3,250 words of text with no more than three pages of endnotes and references. Three hard copies and one electronic copy of the final draft of the paper must be submitted to the editor by January 20, 2004. Each paper will be sent to two referees.
PROPOSAL SUBNISSION: A one-page abstract should be submitted before the deadline of MAY 10, 2003. It is preferred that abstracts be sent by e-mail to [log in to unmask] I can also be reached at:

Call for Papers
Annual A.S.S.A. Meeting, San Diego, California, January 2004
The next annual AFEE meeting will be held January 3-5, 2004 in San Diego, California.
AFEE invites proposals for individual papers and complete panels. All proposals reflecting the tradition and analytical perspective of the Association for Evolutionary Economics will be given serious consideration, but preference will be given to proposals that:
1. Apply foundational works (e.g., Veblen, Commons, Polanyi) to specific contemporary problems or institutions;
2. Analyze / critique specific contemporary policies, policy proposals, or measurement conventions;
3. Compare original institutional to ecological, feminist, radical, "new" institutional, or conventional approaches to specific economic problems or policies.
4. Focus on themes related to those in Thorstein Veblen's book The Theory of Business Enterprise (1904).
In considering your topic and preparing your abstract, please keep in mind that you will have no more than twenty (20) minutes to present your paper. Also keep in mind that in order to be considered for publication in the June 2004 Journal of Economic Issues, your paper cannot exceed ten pages (2,850 words) of text. (Details will be provided to authors whose paper proposals are accepted.) Notification will be sent to those whose papers are accepted by early May, 2003.
Authors are required to be members of AFEE. However, for co-authored papers at least one of the authors must be a member of AFEE. This is a new policy adopted by the AFEE Board in its January 2002 meeting.
Proposals for complete sessions (four or five papers, one or two discussants) will also be considered. Such proposals should include the abstracts of all proposed papers.
