Dear NBER Economics of Education invitees,
I am hoping to see many of you (if not all of you) on December 2-3 at the
NBER in Cambridge Massachusetts for our next Economics of Education program
meeting (agenda below the row of asterisks). Rob Shannon at the NBER is
sending out your invitation presently.
I would be really grateful if you could reply to the invitation today so
that the hotel and other travel bookings could go through smoothly.
Also, could you locals make a point of replying even though you do not need
travel bookings? (I know that, from many years of having been a local
myself, that we sometimes feel that it is unnecessary to reply. However,
as we try to move back into in-person meetings, it is really useful to the
NBER if we give them a sense of the numbers.)
All good wishes,
Caroline Hoxby
