Correction to: Royal Economic Society Annual Conference 2021 Sargan Lecture

T SHE year i 968 was an important one for economic history in Ireland. In that year the Irish Economic History Group held its first annual conference. The group had been established in i967 during the Belfast meeting of the British Economic History Society; and in I970 was formally constituted as the Economic and Social History Society of Ireland. Also in i968 appeared two important books on Irish economic and social history: Cullen's Anglo-Irish Trade (32) ,1 containing much ofthe evidential basis ofhis reinterpretations ofeighteenthcentury Irish economic history; and Connell's Irish Peasant Society (23), a collection of highly original inquiries into aspects of nineteenth-century society. Since i968 a large volume of material, having some claim to be economic or social history, has been published. The annual bibliographies compiled by the Economic History Review list nearly 450 items on Ireland to the end of I977, but this is a considerable understatement, notwithstanding the energies of an Irish compiler between I970 and I975.2 Judging by the more comprehensive bibliographies published in Irish Economic and Social History since I974, a more realistic figure might well be over i,000. In the face of such apparent abundance, Prof. Lee's remark that "scholars regularly and rightly lament the neglect of Irish economic history,"3 seems to have a ring of Irish perversity about it, but it is sound enough. If economic history is defined as that which is written by professional economic historians, there is little of it: the combined profession in Irish universities, north and south, would be hard pressed to raise a rugby team.4 Much recent economic history is the work ofgeneral historians, economists, archivists, folklorists, antiquarians, and enthusiastic amateurs. A large part of their writing qualifies as economic or social history only on the most elastic definitions; a good deal is ephemeral and some is trivial. Still, all is welcome. Economic history in Ireland suffered premature generalization sixty years ago in the publications of George O'Brien;5 and the empirical epoch experienced by the subject in Britain during the interwar years passed Ireland by. Irish economic history, ifit was thought about at all, was presented as

Professor Helen Hughes AO received the Economic Society's Distinguished Fellow Award at the 33rd Annual Conference of Economists in Sydney in September 2004. The citation focused on three areas where she has had major impacts: the economics of development, Australian economic policy, and institutions that further economic knowledge and debate. Helen Hughes was one of the first economists to recognise the importance of export-orientated growth to rapid and equitable development. Australia's third-largest services export industry, education, emerged from her advocacy in 1984 of a policy of selling education to overseas students. Her skill in teaching economics remains legendary.

Report the History of Economics Society's Fifth Annual Conference in Toronto From May 24 To 27, 1978.

In the aftermath of Dr. John Virgo’s unfortunate and untimely death, many of us who knew him have paused to reflect on the many contributions he has made to economics. Most people probably know of his work founding the International Atlantic Economic Society, the first and most significant organization to bring economists together from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In so doing, he was hugely successful, as the society has had significant participation every year since its founding in 1973. With two annual conferences, one on each side of the Atlantic, and with two refereed publications, he more than accomplished his goal of “increasing global communication among economists across continents.”What most people don’t know, however, is the impact that John had on a generation of much younger and, we hope, future economists. It all started in an IAES executive committee meeting during the fall of 2004 when we were discussing things we could do to make the economics profession attractive to undergraduate students. After some debate, there was agreement that a competition featuring undergraduate authored papers would be possible, but there were several major obstacles that had to be overcome. First, the competition had to feature a decent cash reward to make it attractive to students. So, it was decided that an annual $500 award, along with commemorative plaques to the winner and the runners-up, would be sufficient. While seemingly the most difficult problem, it was also the easiest to solve, as the owner of the www.EconSources.com website offered a modest endowment to the Society to cover the expenses for a period of approximately ten years. It was also decided that the competition would feature a presentation of the very best papers to a panel of judges who would make the overall best undergraduate paper selection. When we talked about the problem of what to do with the winning paper, John Virgo graciously offered to publish it in the Atlantic Economic Journal at no Atl Econ J (2013) 41:343–348 DOI 10.1007/s11293-013-9368-0
