>>The next conference of the National Bureau of Economic Research Working
>>Group on the Chinese Economy will be held in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
>>on Friday, October 1, 2004.
>>
>>This conference promotes research related to the Chinese economy 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. After a brief presentation by the author, a discussant
>>gives a fairly detailed critique and then there is an open discussion.
>>The conference does not publish proceedings or issue NBER working papers
>>--most of the papers are presumed to be published later in journals.
>>This is going to be the second conference since the Working Group on the
>>Chinese Economy was established in 2003. Participants in the first
>>meeting included NBER members from various programs, such as
>>International Trade and Investment, International Finance and
>>Macroeconomics, Public Economics and Asset Pricing. For examples of
>>papers presented at the first conference, please see
>>http://www.nber.org/~confer/2003/cwgf03/CWGf03prg.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
>>14, 2004.
>>
>>Preference is given to empirically oriented papers that have been
>>completed by the time of the submission. The travel and hotel costs for
>>the authors and discussants will be covered by the NBER.
