Call for papers - Economics Network at 8th ESSHC April 2010 
  
The Economics Network of the European Social Science History Conference
invites session and paper proposals for the Eighth ESSHC, which will be
held at the Bijloke Site in Ghent, Belgium, 13 - 16 April 2010. (More
information on the conference can be found at
http://www.iisg.nl/esshc/economics2010.php)

  
Deadline for paper and session proposals is 1 May 2009. 
  
We appreciate proposals concerning economic aspects of labour and labour
relations, and we generated a list of topics of interest to the members
present:

* Inequality and labor relations 
* Acquisition of human capital and social mobility 
* Insights from the Early Modern period which critique the neo-classical
paradigm 
* Industriousness and economic growth 
* Institutions as engine of economic growth or precursor to stagnation 
This list is not exhaustive, but meant only to stimulate ideas. 
  
The Economics Network anticipates sponsoring 10 sessions of four papers
each at these meetings, given the limitations imposed by the size of the
overall conference. 

Please note that the network chairs are especially eager to see complete
session proposals, as we find that this is conducive to intellectual
coherence in sessions. However, promising single paper submissions will
be given every consideration, and we will try to find them compatible
sessions for inclusion. Please register on time!
