Dear EEE members:
The invitation to our March 26-7 meeting is pasted below; we also now have commitments from all discussants (see
http://conference.nber.org/confer/2015/EEEs15/EEEs15prg.html). The meeting is not actually joint with the NBER's Urban Economics Working Group, but we did emphasize the intersection of urban and environmental economics. Papers should be uploaded to that website as soon as possible and sent to the discussant at least two weeks before the meeting (unless your discussant needs it earlier or agrees to receive it later).
Matt Kahn is due the credit for all kinds of work as co-organizer, except for the job of choosing dinner speaker. That choice was all mine, and so I'm happy to report that our dinner speaker is the perfect person to highlight the intersection of urban and environmental economics (namely, Matt Kahn).
The meeting is only a few weeks away, so please make your reservations now. Each paper has one hour total, so the author will have only 25 minutes to present, and each discussant has 12 minutes (leaving 23 minutes for discussion).
See you there. Thanks, Don
