>The Political Economy Group LACEA 11th Annual Meeting, Cartagena (Colombia)

>The Political Economy Group of LACEA (PEG) has held annual meetings since
>1998. The 2010 meeting of the PEG will take place in Cartagena, Colombia,
>on May 20th and 21st, and will be organized by Universidad de Los Andes
>and Fedesarrollo. As in previous years, the 2010 meeting aims to promote
>the discussion of connections between economics and politics. James
>Snyder, from MIT, will give a keynote presentation.
>
>We are inviting contributions to be considered for presentation at the
>meeting. The accepted contributions are expected to be relevant for
>understanding the most demanding problems of Latin America and Caribbean
>countries. This allows for contributions addressing issues in other
>regions when those issues are deemed relevant to the Latin American
>context. The focus of the meeting will be on the connection between
>economics and political institutions broadly understood, including
>legislatures, courts, executives, political parties, elections, weakly
>institutionalized environments, the institutions of federalism and the
>workings of the public service. Studies of specific Latin American
>countries as well as comparative institutional analyses are also welcome.
>
>Papers must be submitted no later than March 1st of 2010 for consideration
>for the meeting. A program committee integrated by Ernesto Dal Bó (UC
>Berkeley), Marcela Eslava (Universidad de Los Andes), Claudio Ferraz (PUC
>Rio), Frederico Finan (UC Berkeley), and Ernesto Stein (IDB) will select
>the papers to be presented. Submitted papers will be judged on their
>relevance and academic merit. Both theoretical and empirical contributions
>are welcome, as well as work by young scholars and graduate students. The
>organization has some funds to finance travel expenses of those
>participants not able to obtain full funding from their own sources.
>If you are interested in submitting a paper, please do so no later than
>March 1st, 2010. The selection process will be completed by April 1st,
>2010. Papers must be written in English to be considered. Full papers, in
