******************************
PUBLIC FINANCE AND BUDGETING
A Section of the Western Social Science Association (WSSA)
Conference Co-Coordinators: Justin Marlowe and Zhirong (Jerry) Zhao

Call for Proposals

50th Annual WSSA Conference
Celebrates our Past, Present, and Future
April 23-26, 2008
Denver, Colorado



Proposals Due: December 1, 2007


Public Finance and Budgeting (PFB) is a section of the Western Social 
Science Association (WSSA) created to provide a friendly and scholarly 
environment for sharing research in the areas of public finance, public 
budgeting and public financial management as they are broadly defined. 
The WSSA offers sections in public administration, economics, political 
science, and many other social science disciplines.

Paper and panel proposals are welcome on all topics in public finance, 
financial management, and budgeting. In 2007, we had papers on state and 
local budgeting, economic development, international financial 
management, debt management, tax theory and practice, auditing and 
accountability, and much more.

All papers that are accepted and presented at this section will be 
invited to submit manuscripts as part of a symposium for Municipal 
Finance Journal, as long as they meet the journal’s general policies 
concerning the subject matter.

Because it is a “conference within a conference” PFB participants in 
WSSA benefit from the scale economies of a much larger organization 
(Member pre-registration fees are just $75, nonmembers $105; student 
rates also available). All participants are required to register for the 
conference by March 1, 2008.

To Submit a Proposal, Include the Following:
Paper or Panel Title
Name, Affiliation, Address, Telephone Number, and E-mail Address for All 
Author(s)
Abstract(s), Not to Exceed 200 Words

Paper/panel proposals (include 3-4 papers & moderator/discussant for a 
panel proposal) must be received by December 1, 2007.

Please email Proposals to Zhirong (Jerry) Zhao (zrzhao at umn.edu). For 
best response, include “WSSA PFB” in your email subject line.

Or mail Proposals To:

             246 Humphrey Center
             301 19th Avenue South
