President’s Message
May is SGE election season. Voting instructions will be sent to members by email later this month. Here are the candidate statements. Take the time to see who wants to take SGE into the future.
The promised Anne Krueger report is here if you missed it last month. I would like to thank Dr. Krueger for her comments and help.
Thank you to everyone who renewed in April. Please take the time to renew if you haven't already. I want to thank everyone for their patience as we move to a direct annual membership. As the system is finalized, you will receive a notice related to your membership expiration the month you expire and two additional months. We are studying ways to improve the process and don't want to make a false start. Eventually this message may even change.
The next ASSA/AEA conference is in New Orleans. I bet the weather there will be much nicer than it was in Chicago this year, but not as nice as the weather we are going to enjoy here in DC very soon. Don't miss an opportunity to present your research. Here is the 2008 SGE call for sessions in New Orleans.
Our April speaker was Diane Lim Rogers, Chief Economist of the House Budget Committee. Here is the report.
Our May luncheon features Steven Camarota, Director of Research for the Center for Immigration Studies.
Here are a few job listings that may be of interest.
In other events there is a call for papers by the Pennsylvania Economic Association as well as the upcoming NEC lunch announcements. Here is a May 10, 2007 seminar of the Committee on National Statistics
See you soon at an SGE Event.
