WELCOME TO THE 2007 ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SOCIETY FOR ECONOMIC DYNAMICS!
We have a very exciting program for this years meeting. There are 360 papers in 90 sessions covering all areasof economics, and plenary addresses from Dilip Abreu (Princeton), Robert Shimer (Chicago) and Kenneth Wolpin (Penn). We had a record 1005 submissions and because of space limitations a number of very finepapers did not make it on the program.
Under the guidance of our past presidents Tom Sargent, Ed Prescott, Dale Mortensen, Tom Cooley, and Boyan Jovanovic all of you have helped our meetings grow from the first one (Minneapolis, June 1990) intothe large and intellectually significant affair they are today.
Putting together a meeting on such a large scale involves a lot of work. So, thanks go to the 40-member pro-gram committee who selected the papers in a timely manner. Our organization was greatly aided by the use of John Rust’s Conference-Maker software. A particular thanks go to our local organizers, Radim Bohacek and Michal Kejak, who pulled this all together. Our officers, Ellen McGrattan (Treasurer) and Christian Zimmer-mann (Secretary) also played a key role in setting things up on the U.S. end.
As you know, these meetings are costly endeavor. So, financial support from our sponsors is gratefully ac-knowledged.
Have a good time! Enjoy the conference and Prague.
With very best wishes,
Ricardo Lagos, David Levine, and Noah Williams
