NBER: ap paper submissions

The attached question came in about the asset pricing meeting. There aren't any written policies in place, so I'm making up what seems sensible.

1) Please only submit one paper per meeting. Don't send in multiple papers and ask organizers to choose! You choose the best one. (Communicate with the organizers if you really can't make up your mind which one to send in.)

2) It's fine to send papers in again, subject to rule 1. Often there are regrets about papers that didn't make it for one reason or another.

3) It's fine to send a paper to both behavioral and asset pricing. We do coordinate, and we may want it for both. You can do the same paper for, say, asset pricing and EF, so why not behavioral and asset pricing. It would be a courtesy to warn each that you are sending it to the other as well.

Best to all

John
