"The ARC has recently ranked economics journals as a part of the Excellence in Research in Australia initiative. This ranking has important implications for the character of economic research in Australia. A member of the ARC closely involved in the process ranking of these journals, Andrew Calder, will speak on this ranking exercise. William Coleman of the ANU will raise some concerns about the essential difficulties and potential unintended consequences of any such ranking exercise. The issue will be opened to questions and comment from the floor."
The event will be catered, and free of charge.
