The Society of Government Economists will
sponsor sessions at the January 2005 ASSA meetings in Philadelphia. These sessions are intended to provide
an opportunity for our members to present their work, receive feedback
from leading economists in the field, and organize sessions.
We intend to sponsor a number of sessions
proposed and organized by SGE members on topics of their choosing. A typical session includes a Chairperson,
three related papers and up to three discussants.
We are also accepting individual paper submissions
from members for presentation in one or more thematic sessions organized
by the SGE Board.
SGE Policy: In regard to
proposed sessions, at least three participants in the session should be
SGE members at the time proposals are submitted. SGE membership applications
can be submitted with session proposals. Preference will be given to those
proposals that have high SGE member participation.
In regard to individual paper submissions, at least
one author of the paper must be an SGE member at the time the paper is submitted.
Submission requirements for a session
proposal: Session title; names of participants
(indicate SGE membership status); institutional affiliations and addresses;
titles of papers (with authors’ names); paper abstracts (less than one page
in length); estimate of audience size (to facilitate session room assignments);
name, telephone number, email address, and address of session organizer;
and a $30 submission fee (make check payable
to SGE; the fee is refundable if sessions are not accepted).
Submission requirements for a paper proposal: Name, telephone number, email and address of author
and presenter; an abstract of the paper (less than one page in length);
and a list of possible discussants; and a $10 submission fee (make check payable to SGE; the fee is refundable
if the paper is not accepted).
Submission deadline: May 15, 2004.
AEA Policy: All participants
in SGE-sponsored sessions must register for the ASSA meetings.
Criteria for acceptance: A committee of SGE Board members will evaluate the
session proposals and paper submissions based on completeness of the submission
and quality. Session proposals with a high
degree of SGE membership participation will be given preference.
