What is the Public Choice Outreach Conference?
The Public Choice Outreach Conference is a program specifically designed
for young scholars who are planning professional careers in academia, law,
or public policy. The Conference is taught by distinguished faculty, and
provides an introduction to public choice. The Conference offers a unique
opportunity for graduate and advanced undergraduate students to learn
from, and socialize with, some of the most important public choice
scholars in the world.
When and where is the Conference?
The 2008 Conference will be held on
October
9-11, 2008 on the campus of George
Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. Applications will be available on
our website in April.
Who is
eligible to apply?

students and advanced undergraduates are eligible to apply. Students
majoring in economics, history, international studies, law, philosophy,
political science, psychology, public administration, religious studies,
and sociology have attended past conferences. Any advanced degree
student with a demonstrated interest in political economy is invited to
apply.
What will I
learn?
Students will be introduced to the history and basic tools of public
choice analysis, such as models of voting and elections, and models of
government and legislative organization. Students will also learn to apply
public choice theory to a wide range of relevant issues. Finally, students
will be introduced to "constitutional economics" and the economics of rule
making.
