Call for Papers
27th Annual NBER Tax Policy and the Economy Conference
September 20, 2012
National Press Club, Washington, D.C.
Dear Public Economics Program Members:
I am starting to put together the program for the 2012 Tax Policy and
the Economy Program, and I am writing to see if you have any research
that might be suitable for presentation.
The meeting will be held in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, September
20, 2012. The audience is Washington policy economists -- the
professional staff at Treasury, CBO, OMB, JCT, SSA, and related
institutions. This conference is a terrific way to ensure that
leading policy staff members in Washington are aware of your research.
Papers should be policy relevant, either for current policy debates
or for long-standing topics of importance for tax and/or expenditure
policy. As is always the case for NBER publications, however, the
papers cannot make policy recommendations.
First drafts of conference papers will be due in mid-July, and the
conference timetable is such that there is very little time for
revisions after the meeting. The Tax Policy and the Economy volume
will be published by the University of Chicago Press in early 2013.
A $5,000 per paper honorarium will be provided to the authors.
If you have a research project that might be suitable for this
meeting, please email me at brownjr_at_illinois.edu by Friday, February 17.
The meeting has usually included only work by NBER authors, but if
there is a very interesting paper by a non-NBER researcher that might
be suitable for this meeting, I would appreciate your calling that to
my attention.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
Jeff Brown
