Letter from the editor.
Perdue, Grady
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Dr. Larry
Dale, the founding Editor of the Journal of Economics and Economic
Education Research. Dr. Dale served as Editor from the inception of the
Journal until last year when ill health forced his retirement. It was
largely through his efforts that the JEEER has become a well recognized
outlet for economic and economic education research. Dr. Dale was
extremely active in the Allied Academies, having founded the Academy of
Economics and Economic Education, one of the affiliates which comprise
the alliance. He was a well respected professor of economics at Arkansas
State University and Director of its Center for Economic Education. A
prolific author, and a great mentor to junior faculty, Dr. Dale was also
a respected educator and extremely popular with the legions of students
he taught over his long career.
To memorialize his contributions, the Allied Academies has
established a scholarship in his name. If you are interested in making a
tax deductible contribution, please visit our charitable foundation:
www.carlandfoundation.org/dale.html. We will greatly appreciate your
support, and we will communicate that support to Larry's family.
As you know, the JEEER is dedicated to the study, research and
dissemination of information pertinent to the improvement of
methodologies and effective teaching in the discipline of economics. The
Journal bridges the gap between the theoretical discipline of economics
and applied excellence relative to the teaching arts. The Academy is an
affiliate of the Allied Academies, Inc., a non profit association of
scholars whose purpose is to encourage and support the advancement and
exchange of knowledge, understanding and teaching throughout the world.
The Editorial Board considers two types of manuscripts: first is
empirical research related to the discipline of economics. The other is
research oriented toward effective teaching methods and technologies in
economics. These manuscripts are blind reviewed by the Editorial Board
members. The manuscripts published in this issue conform to our
acceptance policy, and represent an acceptance rate of less than 25%.
We are inviting papers for future editions of the Journal and
encourage you to submit your manuscripts according to the guidelines
found on the Allied Academies webpage at www.alliedacademies.org.
