Economics 589a
Economic History Workshop
Organized by: Timothy Guinnane
The weekly workshop in economic history is a central part of the
program. Speakers include Yale faculty and graduate students as well as distinguished
scholars from other institutions. Papers are normally available in advance, and we
emphasize informal discussion of the paper. All are welcome, regardless of department or
institutional affiliation.
You can join the Economic
History Mailing List if you want to receive announcements about the Economic
History Workshop.
Papers will be available in advance from Room 30 at the Economic Growth Center, 27
Hillhouse.
