RE: Summer Institute 2021 - Call for Papers (update)
It is that time of year when we start planning for the NBER's Summer
Institute. The Children's workshop will take place virtually on July
27 and July 30, 2021.
This year we are organizing two types of sessions:
1) Regular sessions (50 minute presentations)
2) Egg-timer sessions (10 minute presentations without Q&A). The
egg-timer sessions are a good way to provide more people with an
opportunity to showcase their work. Time limits will be strictly enforced.
You can apply for either or both sessions. If you have a paper that
you would like to present, please upload a copy of your paper,
proposal or detailed abstract here
http://www.nber.org/confsubmit/backend/cfp?id=SI21CH
Submissions need not be completed papers, but full paper submissions
may have an advantage in selection for the 50-minute regular
sessions. Please note in the comments section of the submission page
if you would like your paper considered specifically for the
egg-timer session (rather than a 50-minute session). All papers that
are not selected for a 50-minute session will be considered for
egg-timer sessions.
The submission deadline is 11:59pm PDT on Monday, April 5, 2021.
You may submit papers to up to two workshops. When submitting to two
workshops, please use the text box to indicate which presentation
venue is your fist choice, and also provide a brief (less than 500
character) explanation of why the paper is well suited to multiple workshops.
Feel free to share this information with colleagues who may have a
paper suitable for the program. Papers by researchers with and
without NBER affiliations, by early career scholars, and by
researchers from under-represented groups, are welcome. Please note
the presentations will be livestreamed.
If you have any questions or need additional information please
contact Rob in the NBER's Conference Department at 617/868-3900 or
rshannon_at_nber.org.
