RE: Call for Papers, NBER China Conference, September 30, 2005

             The next National Bureau of Economic Research conference on
the Chinese Economy will be held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Friday,
September 30, 2005.

             This conference promotes China-related research, broadly
defined, and the exchange of views between US-based China specialists and
NBER members who have an interest in China but may not otherwise be China
specialists. The conference does not publish proceedings or issue NBER
working papers - most of the papers are presumed to be published later in
journals.

             Participants in the past meetings included NBER members from
various programs, such as International Trade and Investment, International
Finance and Macroeconomics, Public Economics and Asset Pricing. Non-NBER
researchers were also represented. Papers presented at the last conference
can be found at
<http://www.nber.org/~confer/2004/cwgf04/cwgf04prg.html>http://www.nber.org/~confer/2004/cwgf04/cwgf04prg.html.

             If you are interested in presenting a paper this year, please
email a PDF version to me at swei@nber.org. The deadline for submission is
May 31, 2005. Only authors of accepted papers will be contacted.

             Preference is given to empirically oriented papers that have
been completed by the time of submission but early drafts are also welcome.
The travel and hotel costs for the authors and discussants will be covered
by the NBER.
