III. For Students
Understanding the importance of encouraging future economists, AzEcon is about to launch its new service: Students
In this section students will be able to post their university works and share their thoughts and views on Azerbaijani economy with their colleagues. All students are encouraged to submit their course works
Given the constraints, we will accept only those works written by students in graduate programs and Diploma works of undergraduate students (Senior thesis).
**************************************************************************
For Economists & Academicians
In order to promote existing economic literature related to Azerbaijan, we decided to directly appeal to economists, academicians and all others working in any fields related to Economics, to send their works and thus be able to reach the wide audience that AzEcon ensures.
Send your works to AzEcon@yahoo.com with Research in the Subject line. You can send us your works in any format. We will change all .doc files to .pdf in order to better preserve quality and format. Please, try not to send files larger than 1 MB
All members of AzEcon are encouraged to spread this announcement to their professors and fellow economists.
All emails should be sent to AzEcon@yahoo.com
