Welcome
On behalf of the Board of the European Public Choice Society and the Faculty of
Economics, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Society’s annual meeting at
Robinson College, University of Cambridge.
The Society received a larger number of high-quality submissions, reporting on
research at the frontier of Public Choice and Political Economy, and which went
through a rigorous reviewing process by the Scientific Committee consisting of the
Board of the Society. I hope that you will find the resulting scientific programme as
stimulating as I do.
I am particular proud to introduce the three keynote speakers:
Paul Collier (University of Oxford)
Martin Paldam (Aarhus University)
James Robinson (Harvard University)
Beside the appeal of the scientific programme, I hope that you will find time to enjoy
the historical city of Cambridge. Cambridge can best be appreciated by strolling
through its city center, drift into the colleges, or walk along the river Cam. As always,
an exciting social programme is on offer. It will give you the opportunity to enhance
your academic network by interacting with colleagues outside the seminar room and to
get an idea of what Cambridge can offer its guests.
Hopefully this programme booklet provides you with the general as well as the
specific information required for a smooth conference experience. However, you are
welcome to drop by Registration Desk in the Marquee at Robinson College
throughout the conference in case you have any unanswered questions.
Regards,
Dr. Toke Aidt
President of the EPCS 2013-15.

Martin Paldam (Aarhus University)
Thursday April 3, 3-4 pm
Location: Auditorium, Robinson College
Title: The Political Economy of Economic Research.
Martin Paldam is Professor of Economics at Aarhus University in Denmark. He is one
of the most prominent figures in European public choice and served as the President of
the society in 1982-83. Martin is widely known for his work on vote and popularity
functions, political business cycles, corruption, development aid, social capital, and
democracy. He has published numerous articles, including papers in the European
Economic Review, British Journal of Political Science, Public Choice and the
European Journal of Political Economy, and several books. He has served as advisor
to the United Nations and to the World Bank. Public Choice recently published a
special issue in his honor.
Paul Collier (University of Oxford).
Friday April 4, 10.30-11.30 am
Title: What's Wrong with Democracy?
Sir Paul Collier, CBE, is Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the Blavatnik
School of Government, and Director for the Centre for the Study of African
Economies at The University of Oxford and Fellow of St Antony's College. Paul is
widely recognized as a leading expert on governance in low-income countries. His
research has focused especially on the political economy of democracy, economic
growth (or lack thereof) in Africa, the economics of civil war, aid, globalisation and
poverty. He has authored a number of very influential and important prize winning
books, including “The Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and
What Can Be Done About It”, “Wars, Guns, and Votes: Democracy in Dangerous
Places” and most recently “Exodus: How Migration is Changing Our World”, all
published by Oxford University Press. He is the co-author of one of the most quoted
academic papers on the causes of civil war and he has served as the advisor to the
World Bank, the IMF and many other international organizations.

James Robinson is David Florence Professor of Government at Harvard University
and a faculty associate at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science and the
Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. A world-renowned expert on Latin
America and Africa, James has made countless major contributions to political
economy, development economics and economic history. His work on political
institutions and long-run political and economic development has been pivotal in
defining this research agenda during the past decade. He published with the
Cambridge University Press in 2006, the prize winning book “The Economic Origins
of Democracy and Dictatorship” jointly with Daron Acemoglu which is considered a
milestone in the literature. He is currently working on a new book called the “History
of the Chiefdoms of Sierra Leone”.

Information about the Parallel Sessions
We have assigned a chairperson to each Parallel Session. His or her job is to start and
conclude the session on time and supervise that:
• each presenter has at most 20 minutes to present the paper;
• the discussant has at most 5 minutes to discuss the paper;
• there are at least 5 minutes for general discussion;
• and the total time for one paper does not exceed 30 minutes.
Each paper has been assigned a discussant. As a discussant you are allocated five
minutes. Since the author has just presented his or her paper, there is normally not any
great need for the discussant to summarize it. You might, however, want to put the
paper into perspective and it is a good idea to focus your comments on the BIG issues
(small issues can best be communicated in private afterwards). Keep in mind that the
objective is to improve the paper, so constructive critique is most helpful. Since you
have spent (costly) time studying the paper in advance, you are encouraged to
maximize the benefit of your efforts by taking the opportunity to talk to the author(s)
about it in private before or after the session.
Each seminar room has a data projector and a laptop. We encourage presenters and
discussants to upload their slides on the laptop before the session starts. One of the
student helpers will make sure that the audiovisual equipment is functional at the start
of each session. In case of problems, contact the Registration Desk in the Marquee.
The Wicksell Prize
Each year the EPCS awards the Wicksell Prize, named in honour of the Swedish
economist Johan Gustaf Knut Wicksell, to the best paper presented at its annual
meeting by a “young” researcher. To qualify for the prize, the presenter of the paper as
well as all co-authors must be under 30 years of age as of December 31, 2013.
The Wicksell Prize is generously sponsored by the European Journal of Political
Economy published by Elsevier.
9
This year the Wicksell Prize selection committee consists of the following scholars
Heinrick Ursprung, University of Konstanz, Germany
Roger Congleton, West Virginia University, USA
Martin Gassebner, University of Reading, United Kingdom
The winner of the Prize will be announced after the Plenary Session on Saturday in the
Auditorium.

the papers presented” booklet. The candidate papers are indicated in the Scientific

Information about the Social Programme
We have planned a range of social events. You should receive tickets for the events
you are signed up for when you register at the Registration Desk in the Marquee. If for
some reason you are not going to use a ticket, you are welcome to “recycle” it via the
Registration Desk or if you regret not having signed up for an event, please talk to the
Reception Desk about it.
Welcome Reception
On Thursday April 3 (18.45-20.00), a welcome (drinks) reception will be hosted in
The Pitt Building, which for more than 100 years housed the printing and publishing
offices of Cambridge University Press. The Pitt Building is located in Trumpington
Street (see the Cambridge Map on the back cover), ten minutes walking from
Robinson College. There are many restaurants and pubs in the vicinity of the Pitt
Building, some of which we have listed below and indicated on the Cambridge Map.
The guide to Cambridge included in the conference pack contains further suggestions.
Guided City Tour and Punting Trip
On Saturday afternoon, you can participate in a guided city (walking) tour and a
punting trip down the river Cam along the Backs of the Colleges (just in case, a punt
is a small boat). We will meet in Front Court at Robinson College after lunch on
Saturday and divide into suitable groups. The punting company will provide blankets
and umbrellas (and a person to guide AND navigate the punt!), but it is a very good
idea to take bring warm clothing and your own umbrella. To make it all run smoothly,
you will receive a green, red or blue ticket indicating whether you will start with the
walking tour and end the punting trip down the river or vice versa. You are welcome
to swap tickets. The event starts at 14.30 and ends around 17.00.
Dinners
On Friday evening, Dinner is served in the Dining Hall at Robinson College at eight
o’clock. The Gala Dinner on Saturday evening is served at Jesus College at 19:15,
with pre-dinner drinks from 18.45. You can find the location of Jesus College on the
Cambridge Map on the back cover. The dining hall at Jesus is too small for us all to
fit in, so the ticket for the Gala Dinner at Jesus will indicate which room you are
dining in. You are welcome to swap tickets if you wish.
51
Imperial War Museum Duxford
On Sunday afternoon after the conclusion of the conference, we have organised a trip
to the Imperial War Museum Duxford (http://www.iwm.org.uk/visits/iwm-duxford).
The cost of this event is not covered by your registration fee. Those participating
should meet in the Marquee at the Registration Desk at 13.30pm. The trip will last
about four hours.

We are grateful for support from the following sponsors which have generously
supported the conference:

Information about Cambridge
Your conference pack includes a detailed guide to Cambridge with lots of information
about the city. The highlights include King’s College Chapel, The Fitzwilliam
Museum, Great Court at Trinity College and the Bridge of Sighs at St. John’s College.
Getting Around
If you arrive in Cambridge by bus or by train, you can take a taxi to the conference
venue (Robinson College) or to Jesus College if that is where you are accomodated.
There are tax ranks outside the train station and at the bus station. It costs about £8 to
get from the train station to either of the two colleges. Jesus College is very close to
the bus station at Parker’s Piece and Drummer Street (see the Cambridge map on
back cover), while it will take about 15 minutes to walk to Robinson College from the
bus station.
The airport buses (The National Express) arrive and depart from Parker’s Piece
(http://www.nationalexpress.com).
There is a direct train from Stansted Airport to Cambridge which takes about 30
minutes (http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/).
Cambridge is a small town and it is easy to walk around, but occasionally you might
want/need a taxi.
Taxi
There are a number of competing taxi companies in Cambridge (so they all charge the
same!). You can, for example, book with Panther Taxi at +44 1223 715 715 or get the
porters at Robinson or Jesus College to call one for you.
If you consider taking a taxi to (or from) the airport (which is cost efficient if you
share it with two or three others), you need to pre-book and pre-pay with a credit card.
While for local transport within Cambridge you can go by the meter, do NOT take a
taxi by the meter to any of the airports: always pre-book. The approximate cost to
Stansted is £50 while a trip to Heathrow will set you about £100 back.
54
Restaurants and Pubs
For a detailed list of restaurants please check the guide to Cambridge which you can
find in your conference pack. Below are some suggestions:
 The Rice Boat. Very good South Indian restaurant (Newnham Road).
 Sala Thong. Very good Thai cuisine (Newnham Road).
 Don Pasquale. Italian restaurant with a good pizzeria in the basement (Market
Street).
 Hotel du Vin & Bistro. A fine French restaurant (Trumpington Street).
 Browns. Another good restaurant close to Hotel du Vin (Trumpington Street).
 Côte. A very good French restaurant (Bridge Street).
 Lock Fyne. Offers a large range of seafood delicacies (Trumpington Street).
 Nando’s. Famous for its grilled chicken dishes (St. Andrews Street).
 Wagamama. Offers fantastic Japanese food (St. Andrews Street).
 Seven Days. One of the best Chinese restaurants in Cambridge (Regent Street).
 Midsummers House. The best restaurant in town (Midsummer Common).
There are many pubs in Cambridge. The College Bar at Robinson will be open on
Friday night, but you might also want to venture out. Here are some interesting pubs:
 The Eagle in Bene't Street
 The Granta. For when the weather is good, it has a fantastic terrace overlooking
the river (Newnham Rd).
 St Radegund at the end of King’s Street. This is smallest pub in Cambridge.
 Fort St George (Midsummer Common). Located at river.
 The Anchor (Silver St).
