>Middlebury College Workshop on Philanthropic Mechanism
Design
>April 24-26, 2009
>
>The Department of Economics at Middlebury College will
>sponsor a workshop in Vermont, USA on the economics of
>charity April 24-26, 2009.
>
>The workshop will focus on both normative and positive
>issues within the economics of charity. We are interested
>in a mixture of papers: theoretical papers, studies that
>utilize naturally occurring data, and experimental work,
>both in the lab and the field. The common thread will be
>developing and testing extant theory within the area of
>philanthropic giving.
>
>The deadline for submission of papers is January 30, 2009.
>Submissions should be sent via email to Jeffrey Carpenter
at
>Middlebury College (jpc_at_middlebury.edu). The program
>committee (James Andreoni, Jeffrey Carpenter, Jessica
>Holmes, John List, and Peter Matthews) will choose papers
>and notify authors by February 27, 2009.
>
>Middlebury College will fund the travel expenses of authors
>of accepted papers. Subject to the usual refereeing
>process, workshop papers will appear in a special issue of
>the Journal of Public Economics. Questions regarding the
>workshop can be addressed to Jeffrey Carpenter.
