The conference is designed to provide extensive discussion of new and innovative research in economic history.  We will consider applicants from all continents and encourage papers that address important topics in economic history for any geographic region and any time period.  We particularly encourage interdisciplinary research and research on diverse populations.  We welcome applications to present papers or to attend the conference from doctoral students, junior faculty, and senior faculty in economics, history, and economic history as well as distinguished faculty in other fields who have research interests in economic history.

Typically, eleven papers are selected for presentation and discussion.  These are sent out to all conference participants in advance.  Each paper is a single session, in which the authors have five minutes to make an opening statement and then the rest of the time is devoted to discussion among all conference participants.  All participants are required to read all papers in advance and to attend the entire conference, i.e., arrive on Thursday, May 30 and leave on Sunday, June 2.  At least one author must be a member of the Cliometric Society.  For membership information contact Professor Melissa Thomasson at mthomasson@miamioh.edu.  The conference pays most hotel and flight expenses for graduate students and heavily subsidizes hotel and flight expenses for faculty and researchers.

Proposals and requests to attend the conference will be accepted beginning December 8, 2018.  The deadline to submit a paper proposal or a request to attend the conference is Thursday, January 31, 2019.
