CALL FOR CONFERENCE PARTICIPANTS 

 The Journal of Post Keynesian Economics
The Center for Full Employment and Price Stability
University of Missouri – Kansas City

are pleased to host

 The Eighth International Post Keynesian Workshop

Conference: June 26 – June 29, 2004
Kansas City, MISSOURI

The workshop will consist of the Post Keynesian Summer School from June 19-24, 2004 and the Post Keynesian Conference from June 26-29, 2004. The two events are linked in time but participants may want to go to either one or both.

The organizing theme for the workshop is “Economic Policy for the Real World”. Summer school and conference programs will be organized by Paul Davidson, Jan A. Kregel, L. Randall Wray and Mathew Forstater. This Workshop will provide a rigorous discussion of both the theoretical and applied aspects of Post Keynesian economics, with an examination of meaningful prescriptive policies relevant to real world phenomena. The summer school will be of particular interest to graduate students and recent graduates. Well-known Post Keynesian economists from around the world will be the teaching staff at the school.

Abstracts of paper proposals must be received by February 15, 2004, and should be sent to Pavlina Tcherneva at the email address below.

Apply soon, as we expect more than 150 participants!

Registration deadline: May 15, 2004 (onsite registration rates are higher).

In 2002 UMKC hosted the Seventh International Post Keynesian Workshop and in 2001 we welcomed the Association For Evolutionary Economics summer school. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and we are working to make the Post Keynesian Workshop in 2004 a similarly successful event. We look forward to your participation and are convinced that you will find UMKC and Kansas City (with its world class jazz and R&B) quite an enjoyable place!
