AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF LABOUR ECONOMICS THEMATIC ISSUE - CALL FOR ARTICLES BASED ON SEARS

In early 2010, the Australian Journal of Labour Economics (AJLE) will publish a thematic issue dedicated to articles exploiting the expanded CURF from the Survey of Employment Arrangements, Retirement & Superannuation (SEARS) 2007. The analysis in these articles should be innovative and will be peer reviewed. The final selection for inclusion in the journal lies with the editors of the AJLE. The deadline for submission of articles is the 31 August 2009. Articles should be submitted to Boyd.Hunter@anu.edu.au and Nicholas.Biddle@anu.edu.au.
