Dear Colleagues,
Building upon the success of our 1st and 2nd Meetings on the Economics of Risky
Behaviors (AMERB), we are delighted to announce our 3rd Annual Meeting and to
invite you to submit your papers.
Organizers: Amelie F. Constant (DIW DC, George Washington University and IZA)
and Erdal Tekin (Georgia State University and IZA)
Date: April 15-17, 2011
Place: IZA, Bonn, Germany
Submission deadline: December 6, 2010
Conference website and online submission form:

Many individuals, adults, adolescents, and children alike engage in a host of
risky behaviors that might have significant present and future ramifications.
Examples of such behaviors include, but are not limited to, crime and
delinquency, smoking, alcohol and substance abuse, suicidal behavior, gambling,
reckless driving and driving under the influence, prostitution, underage sexual
activity and sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and
sexually transmitted diseases, unhealthy dietary behaviors and poor physical
activity, intentional and unintentional injuries, gang membership, and
terrorism. These behaviors impose substantial costs to both those who engage in
them and the whole society.
The meeting will bring together economists and other researchers who work on the
analyses of risky behaviors. We hope to advance our understanding of the causes
and consequences of risky behaviors and to improve strategies aimed to reduce
the occurrence and cost of these behaviors.
We seek high quality academic work that enriches, refines, and challenges our
understanding of the broad array of issues related to the analyses of risky
behaviors. Please note that papers have to be unpublished at the time of
submission. The meeting will be organized in a manner designed to foster
interaction and exchange of ideas among the participants in a relaxed
atmosphere. The highlights of the meeting are a Keynote Lecture and an honored
speech by IZA Director, University of Bonn Professor and President of DIW Berlin
Prof. Klaus F. Zimmermann.
We are honored to announce that the 2011 Keynote address will be delivered by
Professor Peter Reuter of the University of Maryland, who has conducted
extensive research on drug markets and drug policy.
Those authors who are invited are expected to participate in the entire 3-day
meeting. Inexpensive coach airfares and 3 nights of lodging for presenting
authors and discussants will be covered according to IZA standard guidelines
(http://www.iza.org/conference_files/riskonomics2011/Info_Reimbursement.pdf).

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions regarding this event.
Best regards on behalf of the organizers,
