>The Spring 2007 meeting of the NBER Program on Technological Progress and

>productivity, measurement issues, and bibliometric tools are
>welcomed. Anyone interested in presenting a paper should send an abstract
>or, preferably, a draft of the paper to me (contact information is below)

>formats are encouraged. Final drafts of the papers are due to the NBER by
>Friday, February 23.

>Although submissions from the NBER Productivity Program family receive
>priority, if any of your colleagues have research that is particularly
>appropriate for these meetings, please pass this announcement on to
>them. Should you have any questions about the program for this meeting
