For AERC: All topics related to Austrian economics, broadly conceived, as well as social science and business disciplines such as management, strategy, and entrepreneurship are appropriate for the conference. Proposals for individual papers, complete paper sessions or symposia, and interactive workshops are encouraged. Junior faculty and PhD student submissions are especially encouraged.
For LSC: All topics related to libertarian themes in the social sciences and humanities are welcome. Proposals for individual papers, complete paper sessions, and symposia are encouraged.
All proposals are peer reviewed by the appropriate program committee. Abstracts should be limited to 250 words. Papers should be well developed but at a stage where they can still benefit from the group’s discussion. Preference will be given to recent papers that have not been presented at major conferences. Papers not adhering to these criteria, or that have already been published, will be rejected.
