Dear AFEE Member
The AFEE membership renewal can now be paid online by going to the link AFEE Membership.

If you do not remember your account log in information, simply click on the ‘trouble logging in’ link and your information will be sent to your registered email account. Contact the webmaster@afee.net if you are still unable to log in. Please provide him the errors you are having.
In addition to the online membership renewal, you may still process your membership by filling out and mailing in membership renewal form. Click here for the form.
If you are paying online or via mail, be sure to check to make sure your current mailing address and contact information is correct on your user account homepage. If you are paying online, the address you enter at PayPal is not the mailing address we use. If you are paying via mail, Please be sure to send us your current address and contact information on the enclosed renewal form so that we can update our own records accordingly.
At this time, I would like to report to those unable to attend the AFEE membership meeting in Atlanta the results of the election of new officers and directors. Robert Prasch has been elected to the position of AFEE President and Janice Peterson has been elected to the position of AFEE President-Elect. New board members are Deborah Figart and John Hall. Continuing Board members are Dell Champlin as past President, Stephanie Bell-Kelton, Matthew Forstater, John Marangos, and Geoff Schneider. In addition, Wolfram Elsner continues as the Board’s International Member.
With the end of Janet Knoedler’s second 5 year term as Secretary-Treasurer, the nomination process to find a new Sec-Treasurer unfortunately did not bear fruit. After consideration of the board, a second nomination request for a split secretary and treasurer position was issued. At the January 2010 meeting the board reviewed and considered the applications, appointing a new Secretary (Eric Hake) and a new Treasurer (David Zalewski) to replace Janet Knoedler. During the transition process we will continue to rely upon the services of Helen Sauer as our Association Coordinator, who has worked closely with Janet Knoedler over the past several years.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Janet Knoedler for her many years of dedicated service to the association.
If you are a current member, you should have already received Janice Peterson’s call for papers for the 2011 meeting in Denver. Future correspondence will include Robert Prasch’s presidential letter for this year.
Best wishes for a good and productive 2010.
Eric R. Hake
AFEE Secretary
The Association for Evolutionary Economics (AFEE) is an international organization of economists and other social scientists devoted to analysis of economics as evolving, socially constructed and politically governed systems. AFEE publishes the Journal of Economic Issues (JEI). AFEE also has a discussion list that is usually very active that you can sign up for here AFEEmail.
The intellectual heritage of AFEE is that of the Original Institutional Economics (OIE) created and developed by early twentieth-century economists such as Thorstein Veblen, John R. Commons, and Wesley Mitchell. Over recent decades, this legacy has evolved to address such contemporary issues as:

Call for Papers
Annual Meeting, Denver, Colorado, USA
January 7-9, 2011
The Policy Relevance of Institutional Economics
AFEE invites proposals for individual papers and complete panels on the topic of The Policy Relevance of Institutional Economics. As the second decade of the 21st century begins, nations across the globe face a multitude of economic, social, and environmental challenges, and the economics profession faces mounting criticism for its inability to address the critical issues of our time. Institutional economics has a long history of contributing to public policy debates, and the theme of 2011 annual meetings will be the relevance of institutional economics for policy analysis and policy-making. All proposals reflecting the tradition and analytical perspective of the Association for Evolutionary Economics will be given serious consideration, but preference will be given to those proposals that address public policy debates and proposals in areas of current concern, including employment, financial markets and banking, health care, education, international trade, economic development, and the environment.
The deadline for submission of proposals for papers and sessions is April 12, 2010. Submissions via e-mail are strongly encouraged. When sending your email, clearly identify it as an AFEE paper or panel submission in the subject line. If receipt of your paper or panel proposal has not been acknowledged within two weeks of submission, please contact the Program Chair (japeterson@csufresno.edu). Authors will be informed whether their proposals have been accepted by the end of May 2010.
Proposals for panels may contain up to five papers, and must include relevant details of all papers to be presented (see below). Constraints imposed by the Allied Social Science Association severely limit the number of sessions allocated to AFEE. AFEE deeply regrets that it will be necessary to turn down many good proposals.
Presentations should be no more than eighteen minutes in length so as to leave time for discussion. To be considered for publication in the June 2011 Journal of Economic Issues, the text of your paper cannot exceed 2,850 words, plus no more than four pages (total) of double-spaced endnotes and references, tables and figures. The deadline for submission for the June JEI is December 13, 2010. JEI submission details will be provided to authors whose proposals are accepted for the conference. All criteria for the submission of papers, including deadlines, will be strictly enforced by the editor.
At least one of the authors of any paper must be a member of AFEE. For membership information please visit www.afee.net or contact ehake@ewu.edu.
Proposals for papers or panels must be submitted to the Program Chair by April 12, 2010. The following information must be submitted for each paper:
a) Name(s) of author(s)
b) Professional affiliation(s)
c) Email address of corresponding author
d) Mailing address of corresponding author
e) Title of proposed paper
f) Abstract of no more than 250 words
g) Your willingness to serve as a discussant or session chair (specify field)
I look forward to hearing from you.
