Fellow AP group members
It's that time of year when we can appoint new members of our group. We get
3 new FRF (nontenured) slots, and a small but undetermined number of RA
(tenured) slots. I only got one FRF nomination and 2 RA nominations from
the regular process, i.e. the email Marty Feldstein sent out earlier.
I really prefer to put people on the program based on your nominations. If
I just do it, there is an obvious danger that new members will reflect
people I happen to know or reflect my idiosyncratic tastes too much.
Therefore, I'd very much like to hear from you.
The qualifications are basically people doing the best work of the kind
that will interest the AP group. In addition, a sense that they would
attend and contribute to the group is important, especially for older (RA)
nominations. This is a working group, not some honor to stick on a vita and
forget. NBER members must be associated with US universities -- no
government (Fed) employees or foreign universities.
If you have a link to a vita of your nominees, that will save me some time
with Google. My deadline to send nominations to the NBER is March 5.
Thanks in advance
John
