If you have any suggestions for NBER Research Associate nominations for the
asset pricing program, please send them to me today. The deadline for me to
send nominations to the bureau is tomorrow.

RAs should be tenured, and as usual at the NBER must have a primary
affiliation that is US academic; i.e, privately employed, foreign
university or Fed may not be appointed as bureau members. FRF who get
tenure need to be nominated and voted by the bureau; "promotion" to RA is
not automatic, but is done when the person is producing good research and
is an active member of the group. In general, we are looking for
distinguished people who will be active members of the group, contributing
good papers, coming to the meetings, contributing to the discussion,
sending yellow jacket papers to the bureau and (of course) applying for NSF
grants through the bureau.

Thanks for any suggestions. If you know a link to the vita of people you
suggest, it will save me a few minutes with google.

John
