Call for papers, Barcelona Frontier Research in Economic and Social History (FRESH) Meeting

On December 3-4, 2015, Facultat d’Economia i Empresa, Universitat de Barcelona will host a Frontier Research in Economic and Social History (FRESH) meeting.

FRESH meetings are aimed at researchers in any field of economic and social history. The meetings build on the concept that scholars present their ongoing research at an early stage, i.e. normally before it becomes published as a working paper or the like, and certainly before it is published in books or journals. The main aim of the meetings is to gather researchers in a friendly and collegial environment where they can present their research and receive constructive criticism from their peers.

The broad theme of the meeting is “Economic History of Education”.

Date: December 3-4, 2015

Hosting Institution: Facultat d’Economia i Empresa, Universitat de Barcelona

Keynote Speakers:

– David Mitch (UMBC Maryland)

– Francesco Cinnirella (Ifo Institute, CESifo, CEPR, and CAGE)

Local Organizers: Alfonso Herranz, Sergio Espuelas
