RE: Summer Institute 2019 - Call for Papers
It is that time of year when we start planning for the NBER Summer
Institute. The Development of the American Economy workshop will take
place from July 8 - 11, 2019 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge, MA.
Walker Hanlon, Kris Mitchener, and Petra Moser have kindly agreed to
organize this year's DAE SI program. As always, we would like to
have a range of topics covered. This year we are organizing two types
of sessions:
1) Regular sessions (50 minute presentations)
2) Egg-timer sessions (10 minute presentations without Q&A). The
egg-timer sessions are a good way to provide more people with an
opportunity to showcase their work. Time limits will be strictly enforced.
You can apply for either or both sessions. If you have a paper that
you would like to present, please upload a copy of your paper,
proposal or detailed abstract here by midnight (EST on March 20, 2019:
http://papers.nber.org/confsubmit/backend/cfp?id=SI19DAE.
Submissions need not be completed papers, but full paper submissions
may have an advantage in selection for the 50-minute regular
sessions. Please note in the comments section of the submission page
if you would like your paper considered specifically for the
egg-timer session (rather than a 50-minute session). All papers that
are not selected for a 50-minute session will be considered for
egg-timer sessions.
You should also feel free to suggest interesting papers by those
outside the DAE program, especially those by junior colleagues who
might benefit from exposure to the NBER (and vice versa). Invitations
and logistical information will be sent out by early May.
If you have questions regarding other aspects of the Summer
Institute, please contact Rob Shannon in the NBER's Conference
Department, 617/868-3900 or rshannon_at_nber.org We look forward to
seeing you all in Cambridge.
