New Call for

The conference is planning to have one or two sessions on the
economics of natural disasters. If you are interested in presenting
a paper on relevant issues, either theoretic, empirical, or country
specific, please send me a draft or an extended abstract (500+
words), preferably by June 24.
We just received a
small grant to cover PART of the costs of traveling, accommodation,
and registration fee of some of the presenters in these sessions. If
you are interested, please specify the amount of subsidy you will
want when submitting the paper. The amount of subsidy, if any, will
depend on the number and amounts of requests. |
This is the second conference of
the association. Please click

University, Tokyo, Japan on July 30-31, 2005.

Sven Arndt by February 28, 2006. The proposal should include
an explanation of the theme and all papers to be presented. The proposal

A Volume
of Current Issues |
Yin-Wong Cheung of UC, Santa Cruz
and Kar-yiu Wong are editing a volume of current economic issues facing
the Asia-Pacific Economies. Both theoretical and empirical papers
pertinent to the nexus of trade and finance, regionalism, free trade
areas, monetary union, capital/bond market developments are especially
welcome.
If interested in having your paper
considered for the volume, please send your submission (either an extended
abstract or a draft of your paper) by February 15, 2006 to Sven Arndt, with a copy to Yin-Wong Cheung at <cheung@ucsc.edu> or Professor
Yin-Wong Cheung, Economics Department E2, University of California at
Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz CA, 95064. USA. In your message to Yin-Wong Cheung, please indicate
that you are submitting your paper to the volume. Manuscripts will be
revised after the conference, and will be subject to the regular
refereeing process.
Kar-yiu Wong, in cooperation
with its managing editor, Anis
Chowdhury, will guest edit
a special issue of the Journal of Asia
Pacific Economy (Routledge, UK). The special issue will focus on
some of the issues related to the economic relations among the economies
in the Asia-Pacific region. We will narrow down the theme as we receive
submissions. If you are interested in having your paper considered for
inclusion in the special issue, please send your submission (an extended
abstract or a draft of your paper) by February 15,
2006 to both Sven Arndt and Kar-yiu Wong at <karyiu@u.washington.edu>. In
your message to Kar-yiu Wong, please indicate that you are submitting your
paper to the special issue. Manuscripts will be revised after the
conference, and will be subject to the regular refereeing process.
Final versions for presentation of
accepted papers will be due on June 30,
2006.
All participants have to register.
Registration fee is US$175, or US$75 for full-time students. Participants
from least developing countries will get a 50% discount in the
registration fee. All participants, except invited guests and speakers,
are responsible for their traveling expenses, accommodation cost, and
registration fee.
