2009 Allied Social Science Association Meetings
SGE at the Annual ASSA Meetings
The Society of Government Economists will sponsor sessions at the January 2009 ASSA meetings in San Francisco. 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); papers 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, 2008.
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.
