Dear DAE Family-
We enjoyed seeing so many of you at Summer Institute this year, and we hope that you found the meeting interesting and productive.
We are writing to let you know that, after the meeting, an NBER Research Associate reported that a conversation took place between a junior scholar and a more senior scholar that could have been construed as bullying. We ask you all to be mindful of the NBER's Conference Code of Conduct:
https://conference.nber.org/confer/confercodeofconduct.html
In particular, the code states that "The NBER seeks to provide a safe and productive meeting environment that ... is free of harassment ... participants are expected to treat others with respect and consideration."
We hope that you will join us in working to ensure that the culture at DAE meetings is supportive and welcoming.
Thank you and best wishes for the coming academic year.
Bill and Leah
