Call for Papers


Please submit papers here by March 5. We have a strong preference for completed papers, but will consider extended abstracts that are likely to be complete by the time of the conference.

This year's program committee is Leah Brooks and Jingwen Zheng, George Washington University. We are appreciative to GW's Institute for International Economic Policy and the Trachtenberg School for supporting this event.

The conference schedule will post no later than the end of March.
