- Economic History Workshop
- This is open to the public.
The Economic History Workshop (Economics 2339) is an interdisciplinary offering of the Department of Economics. In continuous operation for over 40 years, the workshop has become an exceptionally important forum for economic historians in the greater Boston area, serving as a lively and deeply informative seminar for those interested in long-term economic change, economic growth, and development. Papers are available for participants before each meeting on the workshop’s Web site. As in the past, the workshop this year will recruit the best and the brightest to expose their new papers to the group. The workshop organizers are Claudia Goldin and Richard Hornbeck (Department of Economics) for fall 2009; Eric Chaney (Department of Economics), James A. Robinson (Department of Government), and Stanley Engerman (visiting professor of economics, Department of Economics) for spring 2010.
