EEE Members: Jeff Brown asked me to circulate the call for papers below, pointing out that "Tax Policy and the Economy" has often had EEE-type papers on energy taxation, environmental policy, revenue from auction of permits, etc. The audience at the annual conference in DC has a hundred tax analysts from OTA, CBO, JCT, CRS, OMB, etc. It's a good outlet. Thanks, Don

Subject: Call for Papers: Tax Policy and the Economy 2011
Call for Papers
26th Annual NBER Tax Policy and the Economy Conference
October 6, 2011
National Press Club, Washington, D.C.
Dear Public Economics Program Members:
I am starting to put together the program for the 2011 Tax Policy and
the Economy Program, and I am writing to see if you have any research
that might be suitable for presentation.
The meeting will be held in Washington, D.C. on October 6, 2011. The
audience is Washington policy economists -- the professional staff at
Treasury, CBO, OMB, JCT, SSA, and related institutions.
Papers should be policy relevant, either for current policy debates
or for long-standing topics of important for tax and expenditure
policy. As is always the case for NBER publications, however, the
papers cannot make policy recommendations.
First drafts of conference papers will be due in late July, and the
conference timetable is such that there is very little time for
revisions after the meeting. The Tax Policy and the Economy volume
will be published by the University of Chicago Press in early 2012.
An honorarium will be provided to the authors.
If you have a research project that might be suitable for this
meeting, please send me an email at brownjr_at_illinois.edu by Friday,
February 18. The meeting has usually included only work by NBER
authors, but if there is a very interesting paper by a non-NBER
researcher that might be suitable for this meeting, I would
appreciate your calling that to my attention.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
Jeff Brown
