Relevant theoretical contributions are most welcome Next meeting June 24 - 27, Australian National University Canberra Australia Invited Speakers will include Oliver Hart, Harvard University Mark Wright, Minneapolis Federal Reserve Gabriel Carroll, Stanford University John Asker, Columbia University Rocco Macchiavello, London School of Economics and Political Science.
