AEAStat: Committee on Economic Statistics


Call for Papers

The Committee on Economic Statistics of the American Economic Association (AEA) will sponsor three sessions at the January 2011 AEA meetings to be held in Denver CO and seeks proposals either for individual research papers or for sessions of three to four papers on economic measurement topics. Any proposal for a paper or session on a topic related to the measurement of economic activity is welcome. The Committee is particularly interested in receiving submissions related to the statistical issues arising from the financial crisis and potential changes in financial regulations, markets, and institutions.  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 December 15, 2009 to Matthew D. Shapiro, Chair of the AEA Committee on Economic Statistics, at aea-stat@umich.edu.
