Labor union power ebbs and flows due to relationships with the state. Be it local, regional, or national. The 2024 Online Economic History Workshop is seeking papers of the interplay between government & politicians with labor unions that either strengthen or weaken labor unions.

All accepted submissions will be reviewed by the Chicago Booth Stigler Center's ProMarket.org for consideration of an offer to publish a summary version on ProMarket.org.

The Online Economic History Workshop welcomes submissions from a variety of disciplines, including: Economics, History, Law, and Political Science.

The selection committee asks that each submission designate a principal author to present the paper at the conference. An author can be listed for more than one submission, but they can only be the principal author for a single submission. The conference expects that the principal author will be available to present 11:30am to 1pm Eastern Standard Time (UTC -05:00) on the date of their panel. The conference also expects the principal author to have a microphone and internet access fast enough to utilize Zoom to present their work. The panel is broadcast live on YouTube.

Papers submitted at www.oehw.org must 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. The last date to submit a paper for the conference is November 4, 2024.

Deadline: 4 November 2024
