Christian Dustmann (University College London, UK) will serve as the program chair and Barry Chiswick as the local organizer. Papers and abstracts should be submitted electronically using the on-line submission form on the conference web-page, http://web.econ.uic.edu/espe2007 Submissions should include an abstract and, when possible, the paper itself in pdf format (one single file, including tables and figures). Preference will be given to submissions that include a completed paper, other things being equal.

The submission deadline is February 1, 2007. Acceptance decisions will be communicated in March. We particularly encourage graduate students to apply. Waivers of the conference registration fee will be provided for 10 graduate students. It is necessary that students apply for the waiver in the on-line submission and that his/her supervisor confirms the student status. ESPE wants actively to increase participation from East European countries. Presenters from these countries who are within ten years of having completed their PhD can apply for a 50% reduction in the registration fee. Information on conference location, registration, and hotel reservations will be available at the conference web page, http://web.econ.uic.edu/espe2007 .
