| The ASSA Annual Meetings will be held January 3-5,
2003, in Washington, DC. The deadline for submission of proposals
for SGE-sponsored sessions closed
May 15, 2002.
A typical session includes a Chairperson, three
related papers, and up to three discussants. Diversity in affiliations
among participants is encouraged.
SGE Policy: To encourage membership participation,
at least three participants in each 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.
There is a $30.00 submission fee for each session.
AEA Policy: The American Economic Association
limits the number of sessions that SGE (and other organizations)
can sponsor at the ASSA meetings. Therefore, SGE cannot guarantee
acceptance of session proposals. Concurrent submission of session
proposals to more than one ASSA organization is discouraged. All
participants in SGE-sponsored sessions must register for the
ASSA meetings.
Criteria for Acceptance: The SGE Executive
Board will judge proposed sessions based on completeness of submission
and quality. Session proposals with a high degree of SGE membership
participation will be given preference.
Submission requirements: Session proposals
must include the following information: Session title; names of
participants (indicate SGE membership status); institutional affiliations
and addresses; titles of papers (with author’s names); paper
abstracts (less than one page in length); estimate of audience
size (to facilitate session room assignments); name, telephone
number, e-mail address, and address of session organizer; a statement
on whether or not the session proposal is being submitted concurrently
to another ASSA organization; $30.00 submission fee (make check
payable to SGE; the fee is refundable if sessions are not accepted).
Deadline for Submission: May 15, 2002

Pew Hispanic Center, 1919 M Street, N.W., Suite 460, Washington,
