Dear signatories,

Thank you for signing the Letter by Concerned Economists Regarding “Contracting for Sex in the Pacific War” in the International Review of Law and Economics.

The New Yorker just published an article by Jeannie Suk Gersen that goes into the situation in depth and mentions our open letter:

https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-inquiry/seeking-the-true-story-of-the-comfort-women-j-mark-ramseyer

Please share widely the link for our letter

http://chwe.net/irle/letter/

and ask friends and colleagues to sign.  There are more resources, including responses by many scholars and community members, available at

http://chwe.net/irle/

When a group of us started the letter, we did not anticipate that in the course of three days, we would gather approximately 2000 signatures, including from over 1200 economists, over 300 game theorists, over 100 legal scholars, over 100 Law and Economics scholars, over 100 historians, and over 300 scholars of Asia.  Thank you so much for your support!

Best,
Michael Chwe
