From the Editor

Happy New Year to All. The ASSA meetings in Boston had many heterodox activities. The heterodox sessions I attended were quite interesting and the URPE sessions were particularly well attended. Moreover, the various heterodox social activities were well attended. At its annual meeting ICAPE announced that it will be holding its second conference in June 2007 at Utah--details will be forthcoming. Finally, on a different note, there is some European interest in setting up a project on the ranking of heterodox journals/departments; if interested, you can contact Carsten Herrmann-Pillath at [log in to unmask] Also see the short note from Wolfram Elsner below.
