1. OFFICIAL NEWS
1.1 Message from the President
Dear EACES members,
In this March 2018 issue of the EACES Newsletter you can find again the Call for papers for the next biennial EACES conference which will be held in Warsaw, Poland, 6-8 September 2018. The Warsaw School of Economics will be the host institution of the conference. The extended deadline for the submission of abstracts and panels is the 15th of April 2018 and we, together with the organisers, hope that this will be at least as successful gathering of comparative economists as the previous biennial conferences. While there is a main topic chosen for the Warsaw event, the conference organisers are open to submissions from related disciplines and to any comparative economics related topic as well. So please do not hesitate to submit your proposals for papers and panels even if they are not linked directly with the main topic of the biennial conference. After some technical difficulties, now the website and the submission system are operational
1.2 Meeting Minutes
EACES BOARD Minutes on 16th February 2018 Meeting at Warsaw School of Economics, Warsaw, Poland
Present (alphabetical):
EACES
(www.eacesconference.eu) and the organisers expect your submissions.
The Board, as always, visited the host institution of the next conference, where we could have a look at the main venues and meet the local organisers. This experience showed that the organisation of the 2018 conference is in good hands. In Warsaw, the Board has taken a few decisions as well, about which you are informed in this newsletter. Here I would like to mention only one: as you know, EACES offers financial means for supporting scientific events, conferences, and workshops. Now, given the change in demand and the healthy financial position of the association, we have increased the upper limit for this support as well as for the doctoral awards for the best PhD dissertation in the area of comparative economies. I hope many of you will use these opportunities in the near future.

Minutes:
1.The president accepted apologies for absences. She suggested that because of the limited time available for the meeting, the board concentrates on the next biennial conference together with some other important issues.
2.EACES Biennial Conference 2018
The next EACES biennial conference will be held between 6-8 September 2018 at the Warsaw School of Economics (SGH). The official programmes will start on Thursday after lunch and finish on Saturday, after lunch.
PC reported that Prof. Marek Gora and his department will be responsible for organizational issues. The conference website has already been updated. They will develop a mechanism for receiving abstracts which should be ready soon. It will cost around 300 EUR for EACES and could be used for later conferences, too.
PC added that rooms will be available for the conference, since the University has semester break at the same time in early September. They can provide a big auditorium and six medium-sized seminar rooms together with the necessary technical support.
Free WiFi access can be a problem as normally SMS registration is required to get access but they will try to find a solution and provide free access to everyone. JJ suggested to include the WiFi registration details in the
2
printed programme in order to avoid inquiries by participants.
They will also provide the registration desk. Conference packages will be available there too.
MSass suggested to extend the deadline as the Call for Papers was published relatively late. The extended deadline is tentatively 15th April. The EC has agreed to this date.
As for conference fees, EACES has to collect and manage this process. If SGH would collect them, this action falls within the scope of local public procurement law, which then makes expenditures very cumbersome. JJ clarified with the treasurer, Jens Hölscher, that the German bank account and the credit card payment option as detailed on the EACES website can be used for that purpose.
PC added that the gala dinner will be organized and financed by SGH, and it is planned to be held in the library building. MSass added that the conference package and the catering will be financed by EACES. SGH should act as an intermediary partner here so as the invoices can be send to EACES and the payments can be made within a few days.
MSass indicated that currently only individual abstract can be submitted based on information on the conference website, but panel submissions should also be considred, too.
The scientific committee will decide on paper and panel abstracts. The committee will consist of Marek Gora, Hartmut Lehmann, Piotr Ciżkowicz; while a broader committee will consist of several other scholars and next newsletter will have a full picture of the committee. They will sort the abstracts based on topics and send them to the reviewers.
MSass asked for the support of SGH in organizing local excursions for the first day (Thursday morning) and the last day (Saturday afternoon). PC suggested that the first programme could be a guided tour in the city centre while a ship excursion is possible on the last day. MSass suggested that those excursions could be paid by the participants directly to the organizers, for example, at the
registration desk or by transferring the money in advance. The organizer should collect the registrations for those programmes in advance.
The Board suggested the organizers contact local hotels to arrange discounts to the extent possible. PC agreed. They might list some hotels close to SGH on the conference website.
3. New website – comments, suggestions for improvements (Ágnes Szunomár)
ASz reported on the new website, which has been in operation for three months. All contents have been uploaded from the old website to the new one, while the menu has also been restructured. The website can be updated by the secretary of the EACES, no special expertise is needed. MM and HL requested some changes regarding the menu structure, and changes have been made accordingly: the Publications menu has been divided into two main menu parts: Journals and Newsletters, while the Award tab has been renamed to PhD Thesis Award.
The Board suggested including EACES members’ recent publications in the forthcoming newsletters. In order to have the necessary information for that, an email should be sent to EACES members in which we ask them to send their contributions.
4. Increase of financial support for events and for the doctoral award (Sass)
MSass reported that the financials of EACES are fine, therefore financial support could be increased in some cases, especially if it hasn’t
been changed for long. In the case of events, it was moved to increase the amount from up to 500 to up to 800 EUR, and in the case of the Thesis Award an increase from 1000 to 2000 EUR. The Board approved both by unanimous vote.
5. Possible locations for the 2020 conference (Jürgen Jerger)
JJ reported on the possible locations for the next biennial conference of EACES. He suggested we announce the new location already during the Warsaw conference. MU suggested to start negotiations with the University of Perugia as our first choice. The Board agreed. A potential date for the conference is 10th --12th September 2020.
6. New developments concerning EJCE (David Kemme)
DK and MSass reported on the current negotiations concerning the European Journal of Comparative Economics. The Board approved the proposed mission and scope of the journal and new operating structure. In addition, the EC decided that the committee continue working to resolve issues with the current relevant staff and move forward with discussions for commercialization.
7. Other issues
The next EACES Board Meeting will take place in Warsaw, September 2018, during the conference.
The next Newsletter is scheduled for March 2018.

3. CALL FOR PAPERS
3.1 EACES 15th Biennial Conference
15th European Association for Comparative Economic Studies Conference
Warsaw, Poland 6-8 September 2018
The 15th Biannual Conference of EACES will be held in Warsaw, Poland, on 6-8 September 2018, hosted by the Warsaw School of Economics (Szkoła Główna Handlowa). To guide prospective authors and participants, the conference theme is:
“Post-Transition and Emerging Economies ten years after the Financial Crisis: Policies,
Response, Performance and Challenges”
The impact of the Financial Crisis and Great Recession on post-transition and emerging economies has varied tremendously. Some economies experienced very large recessionary shocks with long- lasting effects for the labor market, human capital formation and growth. For others policy and economic structure alleviated potential negative effects. Importantly for some countries, the Great Recession also slowed or postponed systemic reform efforts. Understanding the differential impact and means of diffusing the negative consequences is important for scholars and policy makers. Hence, it strikes us as important to take stock of the performance and policy reactions of post-transition and emerging economies, broadly defined, nearly ten years after the Great Recession. Additionally, challenges to globalization and the environment remain while new challenges to international economic and security institutions arise. A comparative perspective is essential to understand how workers, firms and governments adjusted to the economic shocks that occurred, challenges that remain and new challenges that lie ahead. A systemic approach provides essential perspective as individual economies had made varying degrees of progress in the transition process and will be differentially affected by challenges on the horizon.
The scientific committee invites proposals for papers (abstracts up to 250 words) and panels (session topic and abstracts for 3-5 papers), reflecting current and ongoing research on any facet of the broad theme above. However, topics of inquiry and presentations at the conference will not be limited, and we encourage proposals for papers and panels of papers on any theme of comparative economics including socio-economic, sociological, historical and political topics. Therefore work from cognate disciplines and methods is also welcome. Proposals can be uploaded via our conference website www.eacesconference.eu. The extended deadline for abstract and panel submission is 15th of April, 2018.
6
Confirmed plenary speakers include Professor Stanisław Gomułka, for many years Reader of
Economics at the London School of Economics, one of the most accomplished consultants to various Polish post-Communist governments, and leading the effort to design a coherent reform policy after the collapse of Communism. Professor Domenico Mario Nuti is among the leading researchers of comparative economics, at present professor emeritus at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. He was advisor to various international organizations and governments in the East Central and Eastern European region and is the author of numerous publications on comparative economic systems.
The conference will host a “Meet the editors” session, where representatives of journals dealing with comparative economics issues will be present, including the journal of the association: European Journal of Comparative Economics.
3.2 IZA Workshop on the Economics of Employee Representation: International Perspectives
Call for Papers
Organizers: Pierre Cahuc (Ecole Polytechnique, Paris and IZA), Uwe Jirjahn (University of Trier and IZA), Andreas Lichter (IZA), Stephen C. Smith (George Washington University and IZA), Konstantinos Tatsiramos (University of Luxembourg, LISER and IZA)
Location: IZA, Bonn
Date: September 07 - September 08, 2018
Submission Deadline: April 30, 2018
Notification of Acceptance: May 31, 2018
Event Manager: Alina Thiele
About the Workshop
Spurred by sharp declines in unionization rates and growing wage inequality over the last years, there has been growing (public) interest in the effects of non-union employee representation (such as works councils, board-level codetermination, joint consultation committees, or authorized health and safety committees) on the performance of firms, outcomes for workers, and the economy as a whole. Despite this interest, empirical research on the effect of employee representation has been scarce and mostly limited to the case of Germany to date.
The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers analyzing (the effects of different) forms of non-union representation, and to put their findings into international comparative perspective. Possible topics might cover:
-the effects of employee representation on productivity
-the effects of employee representation on employee outcomes
-challenges for employee representation due to globalization/technological change
-the effect of non-union representation on inequality and gender discrimination
-(reasons for) international differences in the incidence of employee representation

Editorial:
In this 85th issue of the EACES newsletter the presidential message reiterates for the orientation of the readers to the Call for papers for the next biennial EACES conference that will be held in Warsaw, Poland, 6-8 September, 2018. The cherished Warsaw School of Economics is hosting the conference. EACES members have the opportunity of visiting this lovely city of special importance for comparative economists from all over Europe and the world due to its unique role during both the planned economy and transition economy. The significance has spread in European and world economics, politics and academia. Scholars and students of comparative economics will enjoy the special occasion to meet and discuss various topics on the economics of transition, new developments in the world economy and in Europe. Furthermore, the conference organisers, as always, are open to
submissions from related disciplines and to any dimension of comparative economics. Therefore, scholars will submit their proposals for papers and panels even if they are not linked directly with the main topic of the biennial conference. The deadline for proposal/abstract submission has been extended to the end of April, 2018. The submissions are suggested through the website of the conference (www.eacesconference.eu). This conference website will timely keep on updating the information regarding the conference.
Announcement for the EACES Doctoral Award Competition is inclusive in Section 2 of this newsletter. This section has mentioned about the submission criteria, required documents, deadline, and the list of the past winners. Doctoral graduates in the field of comparative economics for the last two years are encouraged to apply for this biennial prestigious award in the field of comparative economics.
Section 3 of this newsletter explicitly presents the call for papers for the 15th biennial conference. The theme of the conference will be Post-Transition and Emerging Economies Ten Years after the Financial Crisis: Policies, Response, Performance and Challenges. The scientific committee invites proposals for papers (abstracts up to 250 words) and panels (session topic and abstracts for 3-5 papers), reflecting current and ongoing research on any facet of the broad theme above. However, topics of inquiry and presentations at the conference will not be limited, and the committee encourages proposals for papers and panels of papers on any theme of comparative economics including socio-economic, sociological, historical and political topics. Therefore, work from cognate disciplines and methods are also welcome. Likewise, this Section 3 also invites papers for IZA Workshop on the Economics of Employee Representation: International Perspectives to be held in IZA, Bonn, Germany in 7-8 September 2018.
Reminders of the forthcoming workshops are the subject matters of Section 4. This section provides detailed information on EACES-HSE Workshop to be held in Moscow on 7th June 2018. Likewise, 10th Joint IOS/ABP/ECES Summer Academy on Central and Eastern Europe will be held at APB Tutzing, Germany in 11-13 June 2018.
Section 5 provides information regarding recent publications some journals associated with comparative economic studies, more specifically that of European Journal of Comparative Economics, Economic Systems, Comparative Economic Studies, European Journal of Development Research, and Economic Annals.
We welcome any comment/suggestion for the improvement of the newsletter. The submissions are requested to deliver in the form of (preferably) electronic copy or hard copy of the Microsoft Word file to the editor:
