This year, we hope to make our presence at WEAI even stronger. The 2013 WEAI Annual Conference will be in Seattle, June 28-July 2, 2013.
If you would like to present a paper or organize a session in the field of behavioral economics then please send me an email at jifcher(at)scu.edu by Friday, January 18, 2013. The email should include the following information:
• To submit a paper: the paper title, abstract, and list of authors (with affiliations, email and mailing addresses).
• To propose a session: session title, paper titles, abstracts, and list of authors (with affiliations, email and mailing addresses).
Note: the deadline for individual papers sent directly to the WEAI (i.e. NOT part of the SABE sessions) is a full month earlier than our January 15th deadline. You should NOT send your paper or session directly to WEAI if you submit through SABE.
Thank you,

6th The Business, Economics and Leisure Industry Research Conference, 2013
研討會徵稿啟事
環顧全球與國內社經發展趨勢均顯示，與休閒相關的生產與服務事業已成為最具發展潛力之產業，故休閒產業已為國家亟欲積極發展的產業。休閒產業經濟原為經濟學中的分支，主要研究個人休閒行為之投入與產出、休閒價值之創造、休閒事業之經營與管理、休閒產業之規劃與發展，故休閒產業經濟概念與管理經濟並無歧異。
因當前國家發展休閒產業人才需求甚殷，本系決定將辦學重心投入休閒產業人才之培育，故自2012年8月（101學年度）起，本系奉教育部核准更名為「休閒產業經濟學系(含碩士班)」。為促進我國休閒產業之學術研究，本系延續前五屆研討會之經驗，特舉辦學術研討會 The Business, Economics and Leisure Industry Research Conference (BELIRC)，提供產、官、學三方溝通和合作之平台，期能整合休閒產業、管理、經濟學門之研究議題，消彌學術與實務的鴻溝，最終能促進我國休閒產業的發展。
本研討會以管理、經濟與休閒產業為研究主軸，就以下各單元進行研討：
1. 事業經營
2. 經濟
3. 休閒遊憩經濟、產業分析和政策建議
希冀產、官各界之長官和專家，企管、經濟、休閒遊憩和旅遊等領域之學界先進，惠賜鴻文，蒞會指導。研討會後續相關信息之公告，敬請光臨網站：
http://210.240.206.40/2013/2013.html
一、研討會日期：2013 年 5 月 11 日（星期六）
二、研討會地點：南華大學（嘉義縣大林鎮南華路一段55號）
三、主辦單位：南華大學休閒產業經濟學系
四、投稿：
1. 摘要投稿截止日期：2013 年 1 月 27 日（星期日）
2. 全文截止日期：2013 年 3 月 31 日（星期日）
全文撰寫請照APA規範，研討會論文格式，約20頁內。作者須檢附摘要（500字以內，中英文皆可）、中英文關鍵字、並填妥摘要報名表相關資訊，以電子郵件附加Word檔傳送給本會稿件組。本會採匿名審稿制，將邀請相關領域之學者專家進行審核否接受來稿。接受論文須於全文截止日前完成論文，利用電子郵件附加Word檔寄送至研討會稿件組，以利大會在確認出席後安排論文發表議程。

五、學生組論文發表投稿
為鼓勵研究生參與學術活動，本研討會設有學生組論文發表場次（以研討會當日論文發表人為準，非第一作者），歡迎應屆或已畢業研究生投稿。

Workshop "Reference-dependent preferences"
TWI Kreuzlingen, Switzerland
April 17-19, 2013
Keynote Speakers: Botond Kőszegi and Lorenz Götte
There is no doubt that reference points are relevant in human decision making. People do not like having less than others and they dislike losses in comparison to the status quo. However, there is no clear evidence about how reference points are formed. Past experience and social environments often seem to shape a person’s reference point; recent work furthermore emphasizes the importance of expectations as a determinant. This conference intends to shed light on the formation of reference points. We invite contributions discussing reference-dependent preferences, in particular those which discuss the formation of reference points and how they enter preferences. We welcome experimental, theoretical, and empirical research from economics, psychology, and other related disciplines.
Submission Deadline: February 1, 2013
