Call for Papers from Economic Affairs Division
The Research and Planning Unit of the Economic Affairs Division is in the process of preparing the Working Papers for 2013 and is urging public service professionals in various ministries and agencies to submit articles.
An official of the Unit said the Paper could be academic, one that discusses key policy initiatives which are not of a sensitive nature or a research topic of a personal choice. The spokesperson added that papers which reflect work-in-progress or completed work would be welcomed. ???The Working Papers give persons the opportunity to receive comments on how to better their unfinished or finished work,??? it was explained.
The deadline for submission of an abstract or a short outline of papers is Friday, November 8, and they must be emailed to clarke-masonr@gob.bb or scantleburyke@gob.bb. Queries may be directed to economists Kelza Scantlebury at 310-1308 or Rhea Clarke-Mason at 310-1323.
The first set of Working Papers was produced in 2008 and this exercise is aimed at providing an opportunity for professionals to discuss key policy issues.
