- Economic History Workshop
- This is open to the public.
The Economic History Workshop (Economics 3336) is an interdisciplinary offering of the Department of Economics. In continuous operation for almost 50 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 and updated schedules are available for participants before each meeting on the workshop's website. As in the past, the workshop this year is recruiting the best and the brightest to expose their new papers to the group. The workshop organizers for fall 2011 are Eric Chaney and Nathan Nunn from the Department of Economics. Claudia Goldin and visiting professer Stanley Engerman from the Department of Economics are the organizers for spring 2012.
