RE:       Papers for the upcoming ME Program Meeting

The NBER Program in Monetary Economics, which meets three times a year, is a
forum for both regular members of the program and guests to present recent
research on monetary economics and monetary policy.

The next program meeting will take place on April 27 in Cambridge.  If you have
a paper that you think might be appropriate for this meeting, please send two
copies to Lita Kimble at the NBER, 1050 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA
02138. To be considered for this meeting, your paper should arrive no later than
February 9. Only complete papers will be considered, not abstracts.

Please note that due to time constraints, you will hear from the NBER only if
your paper is included on the program.  Also, attendance at these program meeting
is by necessity severely limited; unfortunately, it is impossible to invite
everyone who expresses an interest in coming. 

I look forward to seeing your work.

For long term planning purposes, please note that the ME Summer Institute will
take place the week of July 16 through July 20. The ME Fall meeting will be held
on November 2 in Cambridge.
