NBER: NBER Call for Papers, Economic Fluctuations and Growth Research Meeting - February 7, 2014
NBER Call for Papers, Economic Fluctuations and Growth Research Meeting - February 7, 2014
>TO: Potential Authors
>FROM: Mark Gertler and Pete Klenow
>RE: Call for Papers
>
>Robert Shimer and Michael Woodford will be the
>organizers for the research meeting of the
>National Bureau of Economic Research Program on
>Economic Fluctuations and Growth, to be held in
>New York on Friday, February 7, 2014.
>
>The NBER Program on Economic Fluctuations and
>Growth holds research meetings three times a
>year. The purpose of these meetings is to
>discuss research relevant to macroeconomics that
>is approximately in the working paper
>stage. After a brief presentation by the
>author, a discussant gives a fairly detailed
>critique and then there is an open
>discussion. Research meetings do not have
>published proceedings most of the papers
>presented at them are published later in
>journals. The meetings attract the top
>researchers from all the schools of
>macroeconomics. Though the focus of the
>meetings is on macro, the topics of the papers
>often involve related fields including finance,
>labor economics, applied microeconomics of the
>firm and household, public finance, and others.
>
>We are writing to you because you may have done
>some work recently that would be suitable for
>our meeting in New York on February 7, 2014. We
>make this inference because you have been
>involved in our meetings in the past or because of the type of research you do.
>
>The organizers have a broad mandate to assemble
>a program of six papers of the highest quality
>and interest, without further limitation on the
>subject. We would appreciate receiving copies
>of papers from prospective authors which we can consider for the program.
>
>If you are interested in presenting a paper,
>please upload a pdf file using the following
>website, no later than November 25, 2013:
>
>http://papers.nber.org/confsubmit/backend/cfp?id=EFGw14
>
>We are also interested in getting your
>recommendations for other papers. If you know
>of a paper that fits our needs, could you
>forward this e-mail so that the author can upload the paper for submission?
>
>In order to keep the organizers’ job manageable,
>we have established the following ground rules:
>
>1. Don't approach the organizers personally or
>telephone them. Rather, upload your the paper to the NBER webpage given above.
>
>2. The paper must be in a form suitable for
>presentation at the time you send it to the
>organizers. We are not allowed to put a paper
>on the program on the basis of a prospectus or
>partly finished paper. However, if you do come
>up with an improved version before we mail the
>papers, we will use the improved version. Our
>successful sub-game perfect strategy is to
>distribute the original version unless the new
>version reaches our office by the specified deadline.
>
>3. You will not hear from the organizers unless
>they decide to use your paper. They are not
>journal editors or program committee chairmen
>for a society. They act with absolutely final
>authority; there is no appeal to James Poterba,
>to us, or to federal district court.
>
>4. For consideration your paper must be submitted by November 25, 2013.
