Silvia London jolate2009@gmail.com Academic Committee Papers on any branch of Economic Theory (General Equilibrium Theory, Game Theory, Agency Problems, Mathematical Models of Environmental Economics, etc.) are welcome, preferably in .pdf, .doc or .rtf format. The papers, 30 pages long or less, should include a brief abstract both in English and Spanish and at least one JEL code. Submissions must be accompanied by a pre-registration form. Accepted papers, upon agreement of the author(s) will be published in the Proceedings of the Meeting. The Brazilian Journal of Business Economics (BJBE) will dedicate a special issue to papers presented at the X JOLATE. The BJBE is a general economics journal, covering a wide range of economic issues. BJBE is ranked “B” by CAPES foundation, an official institution of the Brazilian Ministry of Education responsible for evaluating and certificating all graduate level courses in the country. That journal is also indexed in the EconLit and it is included in the database of the EBSCO Publishing. After the meeting, authors are invited to submit their papers after the conference for consideration for publication in BJBE, subject to the usual refereeing process. Papers can be sent by email to the Editor, Jose Angelo Divino, at the address: jangelo@pos.ucb.br. The BJBE looks forward to receive your submission. The Dynamics of Socio-Economic Systems International Journal (http://www.dyses.org.ar/IJ-DySES/) invites to submit papers mainly related to models intended to prospect and evaluate social end economical situations. Mathematical techniques include, but are not limited to, time series forecasting, inference procedures, stochastic and/or dynamic systems, modeling of biological systems, optimization, computational and knowledge-based representations of organizations, cultural, and societal structures, as well as any other method able to predict the future behavior of these systems are welcome. After the meeting, authors are invited to submit their papers to the usual referring process. The accepted submissions will be either allotted 20 minutes plus 10 more minutes for discussions or just 20 minutes for exposition and Q&A. Up to 20 papers will be selected for each category of presentation. The official language of the Meeting is Spanish, but papers may also be presented in English.

Previous JOLATE Meetings The JOLATE Meetings series started in 1999 in Bahía Blanca, Argentina, under the title “New Trends in Economic Theory”. Since then they were held at San Luis, Argentina (2000); Punta del Este, Uruguay (2001); Mexico City (2002); Santiago, Chile (2003); San Luis Potosí, Mexico (2005); Rio de Janeiro, Brasil (2006) jointly with the Symposium of Mathematical Economics in honor of Aloisio Araujo; Medellín, Colombia (2007) and San Luis, Argentina (2008). Sponsoring institutions were, among others, Universidad Nacional del Sur (Argentina), Universidad Nacional de San Luis (Argentina), Universidad de la República (Uruguay), UNAM (Mexico), ITAM (Mexico), Universidad de San Luis Potosí (Mexico), Universidad de Chile (Chile) and IMPA (Brasil). The JOLATE Meetings are recognized by the Econometric Society as a companion to its Latin American Meetings. During the last meeting, the Asociación Latinoamericana de Teoría Económica (Latin-American Association of Economic Theory) was created. The current president is Elvio Accinelli (USLP- México). Luis Quintas (UNSL- Argentina) and Silvia London (UNS-CONICET, Argentina) are the Association’s vice-president and academic secretary, respectively.
