Roy Weintraub of Duke University). The authors examine the context of the development (by Kenneth Arrow and Gérard Debreu and by Lionel McKenzie separately) of the proof of the theorem of the existence of general equilibrium in a competitive market economy, and also the role of the theorem in the transformation of economics into a more highly formalised subject. Congratulations to both authors! http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10206.html https://www.facebook.com/FindingEquilibriumD uppeWeintraub http://books.google.ca/books?id=PcEFAwAAQB AJ&printsec=frontcover&hl=fr#v=onepage&q&f =false Boubacar Siddy Diallo Receives World Bank Fellowship Congratulations to Boubacar Diallo, a PhD student in the Department of Economics, who has been selected as part of the African Fellowship Program to receive a six-month fellowship. He will be at the World Bank's headquarters in Washington DC from July 2014 to January 2015. The objective of this program, launched in 2013 by the World Bank, is to give a new impetus to its work and its mission by giving research opportunities to young researchers of African descent who will be able to gain experience in the field of development economics. 9 New article published by Julien Martin Julien Martin's article (with Isabelle Méjean) has just been published in Journal of International Economics. In "Low-wage country competition and the quality content of high-wage country exports", the authors show that increasing competition from low-wage countries has led developed countries to specialize in the production of high-end goods.

Social economists engage in many types of research, from explorations of the history and philosophy of economics to quantitative and qualitative examinations of contemporary economic life; and from historical studies of economic activity and institutions to recommendations for policy agendas. The practice and meaning of social economics is continuously defined and redefined by these diverse research agendas. The 15th World Congress in Social Economics will afford us the opportunity to take stock of who we are as social economists and how our work advances our values and principles. We welcome proposals for individual papers and complete sessionsconceptual, applied, and empirical-related to the theme of the conference as well as all areas of social economics. The deadline for submission is March 28, 2015. You will be notified by April 15, 2015. 16 Abstract Submissions To submit a proposal, please visit the Association for Social Economics web site at http://www.socialeconomics.org/ and upload an abstract of approximately 400 words. The submission site will become available in November 2014. Please include the title of the session or paper, the authors' names and institutional affiliations, and contact information in the form of an email address for the corresponding author. At least one author of each paper presented at the World Congress must be a member of the Association for Social Economics. To join, please visit this link http://www.socialeconomics.org/.

CRESSE FELLOWSHIPS Fellowships Available For Untenured Faculty, Doctoral Students and Post-Docs to Attend Leading Competition Policy Summer School in Crete, Greece, June-July 2015 The Centre for Interuniversity Research and Analysis of Organizations (CIRANO) in Montreal, the Rotman Institute for International Business, in the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and the Phelps Centre for the Study of Government and Business in the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia (“the Centres”) are pleased to announce a partnership with the European Summer School and Conference in Competition and Regulation (CRESSE: www.cresse.info/ ). The goal is to encourage and facilitate greater participation by young Canadian economists in this world-class conference and summer school. In its tenth year in 2015, CRESSE will feature presentations and teaching by some of the leading competition policy experts in the world, including 2014 Nobel Laureate Jean Tirole who will be a Keynote Conference Speaker. More about this year’s summer school and conference can be found at: www.cresse.info/default.aspx?articleID=3398 . The summer school is ideal for those interested in competition economics but who, while trained in microeconomic theory and industrial organization, may have had limited opportunity for focused study in the field. The Centres will jointly fund six fellowships for economists to attend the full 2015 summer school (all nine modules) and conference which will run from June 27 to July 10, 2015 and will be held in Rethymnon, Crete, Greece. These fellowships will cover all registration and tuition fees and 18 will include up to C$3,000 additional funding to cover air and hotel costs. Those eligible for consideration for these fellowships will include economists who are: Canadian Ph.D. students and post-doctoral scholars, and other doctoral and post-doctoral scholars studying or working in Canadian universities; untenured Canadian faculty members and other untenured faculty working at Canadian universities; and employees of the Competition Bureau of Canada. To apply for a fellowship, or for further information, contact: Professor Thomas Ross, Director Phelps Centre for the Study of Government and Business Sauder School of Business, University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC, CANADA, V6T 1Z2 Tel: (604) 822-8478 E-mail: [email protected] Applicants should provide a letter or email expressing their desire to apply for a fellowship as well as the following: (i) for untenured faculty, post-doctoral fellows and employees of the Canadian Competition Bureau – a CV only; and (ii) for doctoral students (who may not necessarily be at the thesis stage) – a CV, list of graduate economics courses (taken and in process), and names and contact information of two references (but not letters). Applications are welcome now and will be received until all fellowships have been awarded. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply – or at least to express interest – as soon as possible. To facilitate travel planning, some fellowships may be awarded as early as December 2014 and we expect all fellowships to be awarded by April 1, 2015.
