Joint Conference

Year 2000

SABE and the IAREP (International Association for Research In Economic Psychology)

Baden/Vienna, Austria, 2000

CALL FOR PAPERS

Society for Advancement of Behavioral Economics (SABE)

The Twenty-Fifth Annual Convention of Economic Psychology will be held July 12 to 16, 2000 in Vienna (Baden), Austria. This is a joint conference of the International Association for Research in Economic Psychology (IAREP) and the Society for the Advancement of Behavioral Economics (SABE). This conference marks a quarter of century of research in economic psychology and will focus on interdisciplinary research on the many topics that relate to the interface between psychology and economics.

Please submit paper proposals through our email at: iarep-sabe2000.psychologie@univie.ac.at.

If you wish to organize a session, please contact the above email address and cc your request to Morris Altman at: altman@sask.usask.ca.

Feel free to contact your SABE representatives and members of the organizing committee Morris Altman (altman@sask.usask.ca) or Kishor Thanawala (kishor.thanawala@villanova.edu).

The conference theme is "Fairness and Cooperation." Looking back on many years of research in economic psychology and behavioral economics and facing the new millennium, this topic is of growing importance. In changing national economies and with increasing globalization, cooperation between individuals, firms and governments becomes more and more vital. Trust and fairness build the basis for fruitful cooperation and mutually profitable solutions that satisfy all partners.

Please note that paper proposals on other subjects are also welcome.

The conference site is a renovated 13th-century castle housing a luxury conference hotel. Baden, Vienna/Austria is a small town about twenty kilometers from Vienna City center and famous for its spa and imperial history. We chose this location for its hospitality and friendliness, believing that this special atmosphere enhances focused scientific discussion as well as informal communication. The conference will start on Wednesday, 12 July 2000 with registration and an opening ceremony. From Thursday to Sunday, there will be the scientific presentations in three to four parallel sessions. One afternoon will be reserved for social events and sightseeing in the city center of Vienna.

The conference language will be English. If you are interested in presenting a paper or poster, please use the Paper Submission Form (Web Site) to submit your paper to the scientific committee until 31 January 2000. If your paper is accepted for the conference, you should supply a final paper of no more than ten pages until 15 May 2000. Final papers submitted after this date will not be included in the conference proceedings. By 1 June 2000 we will provide a preliminary program. Please note that early registration is possible until 1 April 2000; if you register later, the conference fee will be 50 Euro more. Please use the Conference Registration Form to register.

The SABE Poster Session in Boston, Saturday, January 8, 2000

SABE will hold a poster session in conjunction with the AEA-ASSA annual meetings in Boston, Jan 7-9, 2000, in association with the Industrial Relations Research Association (IRRA). The SABE session will be held at Boston Park Plaza Hotel. You are invited to submit a proposal for a poster-paper to be presented in this session. See our Web site for new information:

(http://www.usask.ca/economics/SABE/)

Poster sessions encourage interaction between presenters and the viewers. Posters can portray succinctly and visually, a model, theory, or an empirical study, and invite

viewers to discuss the paper with the presenter.

If you've attended poster sessions before you know how effective they can be. If you've never attended one--we invite you to try your hand at preparing one.

We look forward to seeing you, either as a presenter or viewer, in Boston.

Submit your proposal to:

PROFESSOR John Tomer

Email: Jtomer@juno.com

PREPARING A POSTER

Posters are mounted on poster boards. The space available for SABE's posters permits about 10

poster-papers to be mounted.

Specific Instructions:

repare 4-5 pages on ordinary letter-sized paper (8.5" x 11"). The written or graphic material should fit inside a box measuring 5" x 6" (11.5cm x 15 cm).
2. Enlarge each page on 11" x 17" paper. For example, if you enlarge each page 41% twice, you get an 11" x 17" page twice the size of the original. If you use 12-point print in your original, then after enlargement your print will be 24 point--big enough to read easily, even from a distance.
3. After enlargement, your poster-paper should comprise 4-5 pages, each 11' x 17'. Each page should be numbered so that they can be arranged in logical order on a Poster Board.

Page One: Title, Author(s), and a short Abstract

Page Two: Main Results (perhaps as a "bullet" list)

Pages Three and Four: Tables, Figures, and/or Verbal Description of the Model.

Page Five: References

The SABE Business Meeting During the SABE San Diego Conference

Sunday, June 13, 1999

San Diego State University

Present: Morris Altman, Shoshana Grossbard-Shechtman, Ewa Gucwa-Leśny, Richard Hattwick, Bijou Yang Lester, Kishor Thanawala, John Tomer (Chair)

The meeting was called to order at 5:45 p.m. and Kishor Thanawala was appointed Secretary pro tem.

A resolution was unanimously adopted thanking Shoshana Grossbard-Shechtman and Christopher Clague Shoshana for organizing a very successful conference. The Board also requested Shoshana to convey its appreciation to other staff members at SDSU for making the participants’ stay academically stimulating and for handling local arrangements very smoothly.

Treasurer Bijou Yang Lester presented the financial report. She said that the balance in the bank account, as of December 31, 1998, was $4,022.57, and as of May 31, 1999, was $4,129.60. It was agreed that individual members of the Board will explore cost-effective ways of achieving non-profit status for SABE so as to reduce expenses.

Morris Altman reported on the annual conference (jointly with IAREP) to be held in Baden, Austria. The Theme of the conference is "Fairness and Cooperation." Call for Papers will go out later in the summer. The Conference will be held on July 12-16, 2000. Morris Altman and Kishor Thanawala are SABE representatives on the eight-member Scientific Committee of the Conference.

Richard Hattwick briefed the members on the history of negotiations with potential publishing houses, leading to the purchase of the Journal of Socio-Economics by North Holland-Elsevier. Papers by and of interest to SABE members will continue to be published in the Journal of Socio-Economics. Richard Hattwick expressed the view that SABE will be one of the three main constituents of the journal, the other two being SASE and Law and Socio-Economics.

John Tomer and Morris Altman reported on SABE’s relationship with the Journal of Economic Psychology. (Morris is an Associate Editor of this Journal.) The Editors of JOEP proposed that "Behavioral Economics" be included in the title of the Journal and that a closer relationship be established with SABE.

There was discussion about SABE’s (independent) Conference in 2001. Some members expressed the hope that it could be held on the East Coast (of the U.S.). It was suggested that the responsibility of organizing local arrangements could be separated from that of putting together the Conference Sessions, and that two different individuals might handle these two sets of jobs. No decision about the place/date for the 2001 Conference was reached.

John Tomer will organize a Poster Session during the ASSA Conference to be held during January 2000 in Boston. Details about this Poster Session will be included in the Newsletter and will also be put on SABE website.

The possibility of having a SABE Session at the Eastern Economic Association meetings to be held during March 2000 in Washington, D.C. was discussed. No firm decision was reached.

Shoshana Grossbard-Shechtman reported that the San Diego Conference had attracted 80 new members to SABE. She suggested that a fresh approach should be made by SABE for ASSA recognition. She agreed to contact the ASSA regarding their membership criteria.

John Tomer reported that Li Way Lee had contacted him and discussed the possibility of his (Lee’s) stepping down as Secretary. Members expressed appreciation for the support Wayne State University has given to SABE and for Lee’s contributions to SABE during the past five years. Lee will continue to be Secretary until SABE elects a new person.

There was a brief discussion about election of officers of the Society by mail ballot. Discussion on this topic will continue in the next business meeting.

Because of time constraints, John Tomer asked members to forward to him ideas about improving procedures for collecting dues as well as increasing membership.

There was a brief discussion about SABE’s website. Morris Altman requested members to send him ideas for enhancing the site.

Several members expressed the need for codifying the procedures, by-laws and constitution of the Society.

The meeting was adjourned shortly after 7:00 p.m.

Name Change Debate

In an e-mail message several days after the SABE Conference in June, Shoshana Grossbard-Shechtman proposed changing the name of SABE to the International Association for Behavioral and Socio-Economics. Shoshana's main reason is that we should have a name that "conveys the idea that our organization is not solely about psychology and economics which is what behavioral economics conveys." In the several weeks after that, there were many e-mails back and forth among SABE Board members on this issue. Some expressed some support for the proposed change. Others were very much against a change. There were several other proposed name changes including: 1) Social and Behavioral Economics, 2) Socio-Economics and Behavioral Economics, 3) International Behavioral Economics Association, and 4) Behavioral Economics Association. No consensus on a name change developed at this time.

The Journal of Economic Psychology has long been published by North Holland-Elsevier. To send out the message that it welcomes papers in behavioral economics the JOEP will see its name changed to the Journal of Economic Psychology: Research in Economic Psychology and Behavioral Economics.

Membership Call for the Industrial Relations Research Association (IRRA)

The Industrial Relations Research Association (IRRA) has brought together representatives of labor, management, government, and academics advocates and neutrals, for 50 years. Founded in 1947, IRRA has more than 4,000 members, in the areas of labor and management relations, academic research and education, human resources, public policy, union administration, labor and employment law, and others.

IRRA has been a faithful friend of SABE, allowing us to use their poster facilities at the ASSA meetings for many years. One of these poster sessions, held in New Orleans during the 1991 ASSA meetings was instrumental in reviving a once moribund SABE. SABE members whose research touches human resources are urged to become IRRA members.
