•  Complimentary state-of-the-art fitness center
• In-room fitness kit available
• 27-hole Championship Golf Course
• Full-service spa
• Two heated outdoor swimming pools and whirlpool
• Scenic hiking, walking jogging and biking paths located nearby. Bikes and helmets are complimentary.

• If you need to reserve accommodations for Thursday night (or other nights), we have secured an overflow option with nearby Courtyard Marriot – they have a shuttle that can take our attendees to the Omni – at $128 per night. You can book there from HERE. 

TRAVEL:

Information on all the travel options to the hotel can be found here:

https://www.omnihotels.com/hotels/denver-interlocken/property-details/directions.

The closest airport is the Denver International Airport: http://www.flydenver.com/. You can find ground transportation options here: http://www.flydenver.com/parking_transit.

The easiest way to get to the hotel is to rent a car and take the E-470 tollway. Another option is a shuttle/shared ride. There are several companies that provide this kind of service: http://www.flydenver.com/parking_transit/transit/shared-vans.

• However, the BEST choice is the Green Ride (Boulder), which is providing EHA attendees a discounted rate ($29) for travel from the airport to the hotel. The link to the ride reservation portal can be found here: http://greenrideco3.hudsonltd.net/res?USERIDENTRY=EHA&LOGON=GO

You can also grab a (yellow) taxi, which offers a fixed rate ($70.57) to Broomfield. Uber is a cheaper option than taxi, and Denver airport allows Uber to operate there.

Another option is to use the RTD bus (http://www.rtd-denver.com/). The correct bus stop is on Highway 36, below the Omni Interlocken hotel and Flatirons Mall. From there, you can walk to the hotel or call for the hotel shuttle to come pick you up (303-438-6600).

Parking at the hotel is free for conference attendees.

Please also note that:

• EHA offers free shuttle (Green Ride) transportation to and from Boulder downtown to all attendees and their guests. On Friday, September 16th, you can use the shuttle at the following times: Leaving Omni at 3 pm and 7 pm; returning (11th and Pearl St.) at 5 pm and 9 pm. On Saturday, September 17th, you can use the shuttle at the following times: Leaving Omni at noon, 3 pm, and 7 pm; returning (11th and Pearl St.) at 2 pm, 5 pm, and 9 pm.

Annual Meeting of the Economic History Association, in Boulder, Colorado September 16-18, 2016 (SUBMISSION SYSTEM IS CLOSED)

The theme for EHA 2016 is “economic history and economic development.” Economic history is contextual and a longitudinal process, and so too is economic development. Both fields, moreover, view law and politics as important drivers of economic change. Yet, the fields are typically somewhat divorced. Economic history focuses on past development experiences, often (though not exclusively) in currently-developed economies, while economic development focuses on economies that are currently poor. While there is a great deal of methodological congruence, studying the past usually requires exploiting observational, archival data (perhaps exploiting “natural experiments”), while the study of the present allows for implementation of randomized control trials that represent a benchmark for identifying causal effects. One aim of the conference is to point to what the two fields can learn from each other. We thus welcome papers wedding economic history and economic development, and papers drawing on insights from law and political science, as well as (naturally) economics and history.

The Program Committee (Alan Dye, Barnard College (chair), together with Edwyna Harris (Monash University), Rick Hornbeck (University of Chicago), Gary Libecap (University of California, Santa Barbara), and Noam Yuchtman (University of California, Berkeley) wish to remind you that the submission system is now closed. Just as a reminder (about the submitted papers/proposals): Papers should be submitted individually, but authors may suggest to the Committee that three particular papers fit well together in a panel. Papers should in all cases be works in progress rather than accepted or published work. Submitters should let the program committee know at the time of application if the paper they are proposing has already been submitted for publication. Individuals who presented or co-authored a paper given at the 2015 meeting are not eligible for inclusion in the 2016 program.

Graduate students are encouraged to attend the meeting. The Association offers subsidies for travel, hotel, registration, and meals, including a special graduate student dinner. A poster session welcomes work from dissertations in progress. Applications for the poster session are due no later than May 21, 2016 online on the meetings website. The poster submission system will open on March 1, 2016. The dissertation session, convened by Hoyt Bleakley (University of Michigan) and Petra Moser (New York University), will honor six dissertations completed during the 2015-2016 academic year. The submission deadline is May 15, 2016. The Alexander Gerschenkron and Allan Nevins prizes will be awarded to the best dissertations on non-North American and North American topics respectively. Dissertations must be submitted as a single PDF file. Files of less than 5 MB in size may be sent directly to the conveners as an email attachment.
