Call for Proposals for the 24th NBER Macro Annual Conference

April 10 and 11, 2009

Cambridge, MA

We are inviting proposals for the NBER's 24th Macro Annual Conference, to
be held on April 10 and 11, 2009 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. As in
previous years, we plan to solicit papers for the conference. However, in
keeping with our new practice, we would also like to consider proposals
from the outside and strongly encourage submissions. In keeping with the
tradition of the Macro Annual, we invite submissions on any important topic
within the field of macroeconomics (including open economy macroeconomics
and economic growth). We are particularly interested in papers with a
strong empirical content and policy relevance. Discussions centered around
important theoretical controversies are also welcomed, though generally
papers should have a significant empirical dimension. To get a more
explicit sense of the
type of paper that is appropriate, it may be helpful to examine recent
issues of the Macro Annual and also the program for the Spring 2008 meeting
on the NBER's Conference website:
http://www.nber.org/~confer/2008/Macro08/program.html.

Proposals should be no more than 3 double spaced pages. "Bob Hall" rules
are in effect: we will contact only authors of accepted proposals. However,
proposals not accepted for the 2009 conference may be considered for the
future. Those interested in applying should send a .pdf of the proposal to
Daron Acemoglu (daron_at_mit.edu), Kenneth Rogoff (krogoff_at_harvard.edu) and
Michael Woodford (michael.woodford_at_columbia.edu) no later than June 30, 2008.
