Dear Research Colleagues,
As long as public health conditions in the fall are similar to
those today, the NBER is planning to host a number of hybrid program
meetings, including a meeting of the Development Economics program
(joint with BREAD) on Friday October 22 in Cambridge. Those who are
fully vaccinated are welcome to attend in-person. The meeting will also
be available for virtual access on Zoom. The NBER conference team is
preparing to sign a hotel contract with a room block for this meeting,
and I am writing because I would like to provide them with some guidance
on potential in-person attendance. Past experience may not be a very
good guide for this fall!
I have designed a very brief SurveyMonkey questionnaire that asks
whether you are likely to attend the fall meeting in person and to need
a hotel room if you do. I would be very grateful if you could visit
this link

<

and indicate your best guess regarding your fall plans. Responses are
anonymous and non-binding, and will be most helpful if received by
tomorrow afternoon, Tuesday July 20. Thank you!
I hope that you are enjoying the Summer Institute and in particular
the YouTube postings of meeting presentations. I am very grateful for
your ongoing support. All best wishes.
Jim Poterba
