The 2009 meeting of the Swiss Society of Economics and Statistics (SSES) will be hosted by the University of Geneva, from June 26 to June 27, 2009. Submissions are solicited both for the meeting’s thematic sessions on

GLOBALIZATION: PATTERNS AND CHALLENGES

and for the meeting’s general sessions (on any topic relevant to the SSES) where submissions across a wide range of topics in Economics and Econometrics are welcome.

All authors were informed by email about acceptance of their papers on 23 March 2009 (authors who haven't seen this email should check their SPAM-folder). Please note that authors with accepted papers in the conference must register before 22 April 2009 to have their papers included in the final program.

A selection of contributions to the thematic part will be published in the Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics.

We look forward to meeting you in Geneva.

On behalf of the organizing committee,
Tobias Müller, University of Geneva
