A Conference and Symposium in Memory of Toni Calvo-Armengol

A conference in memory of Toni Calvo-Armengol was held at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona on May 29-31, 2008. In tandem with the conference, Xavier Vives and I are co-editing a symposium of the Journal of the European Economic Association in memory of Toni and built around the theme of the conference. The submission deadline is June 15, 2008, and more information can be found at http://www.stanford.edu/~jacksonm/toni-specialissueannouncement.pdf For a short overview of some of Toni's research contributions, here is a brief statement that I wrote for the Journal of Economic Theory: http://www.stanford.edu/~jacksonm/toni-research.pdf

The Third World Congress of the Game Theory Society - GAMES 2008

I am chairing the program committee of the Third World Congress of the Game Theory Society - GAMES 2008. The conference web site is http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/meds/games2008/. The congress will take place at Northwestern University from July 13 to 17, 2008. The deadline for the submission of papers has passed, and the conference program is available via the web site http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/meds/games2008/.

The NSF-CEME Decentralization Conference Series

I am coordinating the NSF-CEME Decentralization Conference Series. The conference web site is http://www.stanford.edu/~jacksonm/Decentralization.html. The spring 2008 conference was held at Tulane University in New Orleans on April 4 to 6 of 2008. Details are posted at http://www.freeman.tulane.edu/conference/default.htm. The spring 2009 conference will be held at Washington University in St. Louis. Details forthcoming.

SITE - The Stanford Institute in Theoretical Economics

I direct SITE, which is a series of NSF funded conferences and workshops that are held at Stanford each summer. The SITE web site is http://www.stanford.edu/group/SITE/. A call for papers is posted each year in mid January for the summer series that year, and the programs for the various segments of the series is posted in May. The conference segments run from mid June through August.

A Book on Networks

• I have written a book entitled ``Social and Economic Networks,'' which is intended as a guide for researchers in the area and a text for graduate courses on the subject. It is forthcoming from Princeton University Press and will be available in July of 2008. You can see the table of contents and the introductory chapter at netbook.pdf or netbook.eps. Here are the Princeton University Press and Amazon pages for the book.
