Dear Public Choice Society Members and Friends,

The 2008 annual meeting of the Public Choice Society will be held Thursday, March 6 (registration only), through Sunday, March 9, at the St. Anthony Hotel in San Antonio Texas.

Individuals who want to present papers at the meeting should send the following information in a one-page .pdf file to pubchsoc@gmu.edu.

• Names of all authors and coauthors
• Contact information, including
  • academic or professional affiliation
  • e-mail address
  • mailing address
  • telephone number
  • fax number
• Paper title
• Abstract
• Paper classification in one or more of the following areas:

  • Experimental Applications
  • Constitutional Choice and Institutional Analysis
  • Legislative and Electoral Processes
  • Bureaucratic Models
  • Public Goods and Public Finance
    

Those whose papers are accepted on the program will be expected to serve as either session chairs or discussants. Typical sessions will have three papers and two discussants.

We also welcome submission of entire sessions. Anyone interested in creating a session should e-mail Jo Ann Burgess at pubchsoc@gmu.edu for additional details.

Abstracts for papers and sessions are due by December 3, and I expect to be able to notify everyone by the end of December regarding whether your submission will be included on the program. The registration fee will be $170 for members and $200 for nonmembers, with students getting a discounted rate of $85 for members and $100 for nonmembers. The registration fee includes the society luncheon and an evening reception with a cash bar. I will e-mail information on how to join or renew in the next few weeks.

Registration fees must be paid by January 31; those who have not paid by then will be dropped from the program. Due to the increasing number of no-shows, we can no longer accept payment on site.

I hope to see you in San Antonio.

Best regards,

Randall Holcombe
President, Public Choice Society
