NEUDC 2008
Northeastern Universities Development Consortium Conference
Saturday, 8 November – Sunday, 9 November 2008

Important Dates:

Papers:

We welcome all papers that investigate topics in economic development.  There will be roughly 26 sessions and we anticipate a total of 104 papers being presented.

Only full drafts of papers will be considered.  Please submit a paper with an abstract not exceeding 300 words for the August 4th deadline.  The abstract should include JEL codes.  The final and completed version of all accepted papers must be received by October 15, 2008.

To ensure that all fonts, symbols, and equations appear the way they were originally typed, please submit your document in pdf format.

Papers Accepted as Posters

There will be space to display 50 posters during the conference dinner.  In deciding whether to accept a submission as a conference paper or a poster, the selection committee will consider whether (I) the paper works well as a poster (its results can be conveyed with a few striking graphs, figures or tables) and (II) the paper is too short for a full presentation.  The committee will also reserve poster slots for papers that could not fit into conference sessions because of constraints on time.

Presentations and Discussions

Presenters should create presentations that can be displayed using a computer since other modes of presenting material, such as overhead projectors, will not be available.  Again, to ensure that all fonts, symbols, and equations appear the way they were originally typed, please submit your document in pdf format.  Although all conference computers will carry Microsoft’s PowerPoint software, certain fonts may not be displayed as they were intended if the presentation was created using a different version of the software.

Presenters and discussants must upload their presentations to Conference Maker before October 15th.  Participants are strongly encouraged to bring a back up on a USB stick to the conference.
