[URPE] Heterodox Economics Newsletter - Issue 24

[Lee, Frederic]

Heterodox Economics Newsletter <http://l.web.umkc.edu/leefs/htn24.htm> 

Issue-24, March 8, 2006

>From the Editor 

Ranking journals and departments is still an ongoing problem for
European economists-I say this because I have been told by some that the
problem is a non-problem and papers on issues of ranking should not
really be published. In Greece, higher education is about to officially
initiate research assessments and to play the journal ranking game. This
will put into practice a relevant law passed a few months ago in Greece
in compliance with a European Union directive regarding the evaluation
of higher education. Dr. Andriana Vlachou and others are trying to do
something to resist the implementation of the law or at least some of
its devastating implications. If you have papers and other documents
that address the issue of ranking and how to deal with its implications,
please send then to Dr. Vlachou-her e-mail address is Vlachou at aueb.gr. 

In the newsletter there are more call for papers and of particular note
the call for papers from AFEE, IAFFE, ASE, and URPE for the 2007 ASSA in
Chicago have now been listed in the Newsletter. In addition, there are a
jobs posting, and notices for ROPE, David Colander's Economics, and Ray
Canterbury's book on Alan Greenspan. Moreover, a new section has been
introduced that deals with heterodox economics archive material which
you might find interesting. Finally, under FYI you will find an article
on the teaching of economics at Columbia University which you may find
quite interesting.
