New public choice society president Randy Holcombe announces by email:

The 2007 annual meeting of the Public Choice Society will be held jointly with the European Public Choice Society in Amsterdam. The meeting will offer a great opportunity for interaction with the worldwide public choice community, and I want to encourage everyone to attend.

The meeting will begin with an evening reception on March 29 and will run through April 1.

That is a Thursday-Sunday schedule. I imagine the meetings will be conducted on the European model. That means an academic/university locale and included snacks, coffee breaks, and meals, usually in an attractive setting (museum/castle/etc). Also, you'll need to send in an actual paper (work in progress) in order to get on the program.

This will be a useful conference for anyone doing applied political economy. Also, I hope it will prove to be an important event in revitalizing the public choice as a research program. For now, I encourage everyone to look up this conference and consider attending, presenting a paper, organizing as session, and enjoying everything that Amsterdam, one of Europe's most interesting cities, has to offer.

Here is my earlier post on this past April's European public choice meetings. The 2007 call for papers will soon appear on the Public Choice Society web page. The 2008 world public choice meetings will most likely be in San Antonio (my home town...Thanks, Randy!).
