Dear Colleagues, We have been under the usual pressure to extend the deadline, but are reluctant to do this, since many have made a big effort to hit it. Thus we have decided on the following fudge: We will accept submissions up to 1 week after the deadline (i.e. until midnight GMT on the 22nd April)... ...HOWEVER, we do not guarantee to be able to get reviews for these late papers on time to accept them, the papers submitted on time will get priority in the process, so if you are late you risk having your paper not being considered and not getting your accepted/rejected notice until later than others. We have to keep the majority of acceptances to schedule due to needing to make financial decisions about numbers soon after the date for notification of acceptance/rejection. Given the number of submissions so far, we are hopeful of a lively conference with a good range and quality of submissions! We look forward to seeing you all there. Thank you! Regards. -------------------------------------------------- Bruce Edmonds, Centre for Policy Modelling, Manchester Metropolitan University, Aytoun Bldg., Aytoun Street, Manchester, M1 3GH. UK.
