[Geoffrey Hodgson]

SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON INSTITUTIONAL ECONOMICS

"INSTITUTIONS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT"

Organised by the Centre for Research in Institutional Economics,
University of Hertfordshire, UK.

Speakers: Ha-Joon Chang (University of Cambridge), Barbara Harriss-White 
(University of Oxford), Geoffrey Hodgson (University of Hertfordshire), Ugo 
Pagano (University of Siena), Eric Reinert (Tallin University of 
Technology), and Allan Schmid (Michigan State University.

22-24 June 2005

This residential workshop will be held at the Conference Centre on the new 
De Havilland campus of the University of Hertfordshire, in Hatfield, England.

This workshop is designed to provide in-depth discussion of cutting-edge 
issues in institutional economics, in a forum that permits the attention to 
detail and definition that is often lacking in larger, conference-style 
events. The expected maximum number of participants is 50. Please book 
early to avoid disappointment.

The De Havilland Campus of the University of Hertfordshire is about one 
mile from Hatfield railway station. There are regular trains from Hatfield 
to London Kings Cross, taking about 20 minutes. There is easy access to all 
London airports.
