Call for Sessions and Papers for the January 2013 American Economic Association Annual Meeting.

Members wishing to give papers or organize complete sessions for the program for the AEA meetings in San Diego, January 4–6, 2013, are invited to submit proposals electronically (NO hardcopies!) to Professor Claudia Goldin via the American Economic Association web site at http://www.aeaweb.org/Annual_Meeting/submissions.php. The submission portal for the 2013 annual AEA meeting opens on March 1, 2012. While papers covering a wide array of topics in economics will be included on the 2013 program, we are especially interested in receiving proposals that interpret current economic issues in light of the past.

To be considered, individual paper proposals (with abstracts) should be submitted by April 1, 2012. They should contain only one Journal of Economic Literature bibliographic code. The deadline for complete session proposals is April 15, 2012. At least one author of each paper must be an AEA member (noneconomist authors of papers on a complete session proposal organized by a member must join the AEA if the session is selected for the program).

Proposals for complete sessions have a much higher probability of inclusion (35–40%) than papers submitted individually (10–15%). Individual paper contributors are encouraged to use the Econ-Harmony website http://www.aeaweb.org/econ-harmony/ after February 12, 2012, to form integrated sessions. Proposals for a complete session should be submitted only by the session organizer. Sessions normally do not contain more than four papers.

Please make sure your information is complete before submission. No changes can be accepted until a decision is made about inclusion on the program (usually July). Econometric studies or highly mathematical papers are not appropriate for AEA-sponsored sessions; such papers should be submitted to the Econometric Society. Do not send a complete paper. Under no circumstances should more than two proposals be submitted by the same proposer.

Some of the papers presented at the annual meeting are published in the May American Economic Review (the Papers & Proceedings). The president-elect will include at least three contributed sessions (12 papers) from among those submitted in response to this Call for Sessions and Papers.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
ASSA Meetings - January 4-6, 2013 in San Diego
The Committee on Economic Education will sponsor a poster session at the 2013 ASSA Meetings in Chicago devoted to active learning strategies across the economics curriculum. Instead of papers, session presenters will prepare large visual poster summaries of their work, which will be mounted in an exhibition room to allow presenters to talk directly with session participants.

AEAStat Call for Papers
The Committee on Economic Statistics of the American Economic Association (AEAStat) will sponsor three sessions on economic measurement at the January 2013 AEA meetings to be held in San Diego CA. The Committee welcomes both submissions of individual paper and proposals for sessions of three or four papers.  The Committee is interested in receiving submissions concerning economic measurement issues related to any important topic, including: the duration of unemployment and its causes; the housing market; the data needed to measure financial risk in the household, business, and banking sectors; how the diffusion of innovation across firms contributes to productivity growth; and how income inequality, economic mobility and economic opportunities in the U.S. today compare with other countries and with earlier times. One of the three sessions organized by the Committee will be published in the AER Papers and Proceedings volume. Abstracts for individual papers or for the papers to be included in a proposed session should be submitted no later than April 15, 2012 to Robert Feenstra, chair, Committee on Economic Statistics, aea-stat@umich.edu.  Submissions should be PDF files and include name, institutional affiliation, and email address of all participants.
