It was a real pleasure to see how the cooperation between IAREP and SABE gets stronger (with a joint workshop and a summer school for the first time) under the new umbrella organization of ICABEEP. This cooperation is planned to continue, and you can find in this newsletter a call for proposals for joint workshops. I wish to thank Detlef Fetchenhauer, Julia Pradel, Julia Sauerbrey and their team for organizing the excellent conference in Cologne, which was the first IAREP/SABE/ICABEEP conference. Earlier this year we had elections for IAREP Country Representatives. I thank all the former Country Representatives for their contribution and wish good luck to the new ones (though in many cases the two are the same person…). We also had some additional changes related to IAREP and its affiliated journal, the Journal of Economic Psychology . Erik Hoelzl and Erich Kirchler replace Gerrit Antonides and Daniel Read as the Editors of the Journal of Economic Psychology . Daniel and Gerrit served for five years and we are all grateful to them for their hard work, which brought the journal to very impressive achievements, as evidenced for example in the impact factor of the journal. I wish good luck to Erich and Erik and I am confident that they will continue to promote the journal very well. Tomasz Zaleskiewicz replaced me as the Honorary Secretary and the Webmaster of IAREP website and I wish him good luck in these jobs. Don't forget to submit your best research to the ICABEEP/IAREP/SABE conference in Exeter! Wishing you all a good and fruitful year, Ofer From the President's Chair Alan Lewis Leaves falling outside my office window, my youngest daughter already becoming excited by the prospect of festivities at the end of December; it is a time not only of seasonal change but also of major economic and political change. Recession has hit most of us with public sector pensions 4 IAREP newsletter November 2010 and employment under threat in many countries. In the U.K. undergraduate tuition fees are set to treble in a few years making U.K. universities among the most expensive to attend in the world. These surely are the issues economic psychology and behavioural economics should be attending today. So the title of the IAREP/SABE/ICABEEP 2010 conference in Cologne ‘A boat trip through economic change’ is most apt. Thanks Detlef Fechenhauer, Julia Pradel and Julia Sauerbrey and all the colour co-ordinated helpers for making the meeting such a success. The range of papers and the quality of the plenary sessions were impressive (as well as the boat trip of course). We have the Exeter conference to look forward to in 2011, organised principally by Stephen Lea, one of our longest serving IAREP members. I hope to see many of you there, spotting the egrets and curlews from the decks of the river Exe ferry.
