The Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), the Bureau for Research and Economic Analysis of Development (BREAD) and the Actors, Markets, and Institutions in Developing Countries: A micro-empirical approach (AMID), Marie Curie Initial Training Network are joining forces this year to host a Development Economics Conference at the Paris School of Economics on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 September, 2011. This meeting is at the same time the annual symposium of the CEPR Development Economics Programme, the Twentieth BREAD Development Economics Conference and AMID Third Network Annual Conference. Financial support for the conference is provided by CEPR, BREAD and AMID.

We now invite submissions for the CEPR/BREAD/AMID conference from interested researchers on any topics within the area of Development Economics. Only full-length papers will be considered. The deadline for replies is 18:00 GMT on Friday June 17, 2011. To respond to this Call, CEPR members can visit www.cepr.org/YourProfile/Meetings and indicate whether or not you wish to present a paper or attend the conference.For non-CEPR members, please email your paper directly to Nadine Clarke, CEPR Meetings Manager, at nclarke@cepr.org and also indicate to her whether you would like to attend the conference.

CEPR can cover accommodation and travel according to the new CEPR guidelines (www.cepr.org/meets/WKCN/misc/trp.pdf) for all presenters. Funding will also be available for a number of CEPR/BREAD/AMID members who are not presenting.

All papers presented at the conference will be selected through this open submissions process. Please note that there will be time for only a very small number of presentations. The conference lasts about a day and a half; there are no parallel sessions.

For AMID Team Members and Early Stage and Experienced Researchers, the reimbursement of travel costs will be processed through local node budgets. Budget heading E - "Contribution to the research, training, transfer of knowledge" will apply for AMID Team Members, and budget heading D - "Participation allowance" will apply for AMID Early Stage and Experienced Researchers. AMID Participants are expected to pay for their travel directly and claim reimbursement from local nodes. The organisers will pay for the accommodation directly and invoice your local nodes for the total after the event.

The travel and accommodation costs of AMID Experienced and Early Stage Researchers whose contracts commence after the conference, and of those who have completed their contracts prior to the conference, will be covered by the organisers.
