RE: Call for Papers, Joint CRIW-NBER Summer Institute Session

The NBER and CRIW are continuing an initiative whose goal is to increase
further the professional interactions among those collecting, publishing
and using government economic statistics.

To that end, in summer 2005 the NBER's Productivity Program and the CRIW
will jointly sponsor a workshop. The joint NBER/CRIW workshop will be held
on Monday and Tuesday, July 25 and 26. We plan to have 5-6 papers each
day, with a discussant presenting each paper. All interested researchers
are encouraged to visit the NBER website at www.nber.org/CRIW to obtain
further information.

Travel expenses for presenters and discussants will be reimbursed in
accordance with the NBER travel guidelines. However, due to budget
constraints, expenses for other participants cannot be covered. The NBER
Conference Department will assist in making lodging and other logistical
arrangements. Invitations will be sent out in May.

The purpose of this memo is to invite you to submit proposed papers to the
workshop organizers (Ernst Berndt - eberndt@mit.edu, Carol Corrado -
carol.a.corrado@frb.gov and Charles Hulten - hulten@econ.bsos.umd.edu) no
later than April 15, 2005. Please send your papers/detailed abstracts in
PDF format or in a format readable by Word.

If you have any questions, please contact Rob Shannon in the NBER's
Conference Department at 617/868-3900, fax 617/864-1825, or email
rshannon@nber.org.
