RE: Summer Institute 2008 - Call for Papers
We are writing to solicit papers for the Summer Institute 2008 meeting of
the NBER Social Security Working Group. This working group is made up of
researchers from several NBER programs who are interested in many economic
aspects of Social Security, including but not limited to: its impact on
saving and labor market behavior; the macroeconomic implications of its
financing; its implications for the distribution of income; its role in
insuring against mortality, disability, and income risk; the experiences of
other countriessocial insurance programs; and the microeconomic and
macroeconomic impact of potential reforms of the Social Security
system. Paper submissions on any topic related to Social Security are welcome.
This summer's meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 23, and is a joint
meeting of the NBER programs in Aging and Public Economics. If you have a
paper that you would like to present to the working group meeting, please
send it or an abstract by March 28 to:
Professor Jeffrey Liebman
John F. Kennedy School of Government
Harvard University
79 JFK Street
Cambridge, MA 02138
Electronic submissions of papers to jeffrey_liebman_at_harvard.edu are also
encouraged. Please use Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF formats.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact
Rob Shannon in the NBER's conference department at 617/868-3900 or
