Dear Research Colleagues,
As long as public health conditions in the fall are similar to
those today, the NBER is planning to host a number of hybrid program
meetings, including one for the Political Economy program on October 15
in Cambridge. Those who are fully vaccinated are welcome to attend
in-person. The meeting will also be available for virtual access on
Zoom. The NBER conference team is preparing to sign a hotel contract
with a room block for this meeting, and I am writing because I would
like to provide them with some guidance on potential in-person
attendance. Past experience may not be a very good guide for this fall!
I have designed a very brief SurveyMonkey questionnaire that asks
whether you are likely to attend the fall meeting in person and to need
a hotel room if you do. I would be very grateful if you could visit
this link

and indicate your best guess regarding your fall plans. Responses are
anonymous and non-binding, and will be most helpful if received by
tomorrow afternoon, Tuesday July 20. Thank you!
I hope that you are enjoying the Summer Institute and in particular
the YouTube postings of meeting presentations. I am very grateful for
your ongoing support. All best wishes.
Jim Poterba
