CALL FOR PAPERS
ENTREPRENEURSHIP, INSTITUTIONS AND POLICIES
THE 2007 RATIO COLLOQUIUM FOR YOUNG SOCIAL SCIENTISTS
Stockholm
August-24-25, 2007
The aim of this colloquium is to bring together research
and researchers in different fields dealing with
entrepreneurship. We therefore invite young scholars,
including graduate students, in economics, political
science, economic history, economic geography, business
administration, law and economics, and related subjects to
submit proposals for a cross disciplinary colloquium/
workshop to be held in Stockholm in August 2007.
In addition to paper sessions there will be two plenary
sessions. One of the plenary speakers will be Professor
David B. Audretsch, Max Planck Institute, Jena, Germany and
Indiana University, Bloomington. The other plenary speaker
will be Professor Peter Boettke, George Mason University,
Washington.
TOPICS:
We especially welcome papers dealing with the following
areas:
- Industrial dynamics and firm demography
- Portfolio, serial and novice entrepreneurship
- Institutions and entrepreneurship
- Productive, unproductive and destructive entrepreneurship
- Entrepreneurship policy
Both theoretical and empirical papers are considered. The
papers submitted are expected to be work in progress - more
than ideas, but still unpublished papers. The 2007 Ratio
Young Scientist Award is awarded to the best paper
presented at the colloquium. The winning author will
receive 1000 Euro.
PAPER SUBMISSIONS/PARTICIPATION:
The number of papers that will be accepted is limited to
18. The conference and lodging will be free of charge, and
we will reimburse travel expenses. To apply for the
conference send:
- A two page abstract of your paper
- A one page summary of your research interests
