In 2015, join us in San Francisco, home of the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, Alcatraz and so much more. AAEA is joined by WAEA in 2015 and will hold the joint meeting at the Marriott Marquis from July 26-28.

We encourage all attendees to book a hotel room at the Marriott Marquis under the AAEA room block. Room rates start at $213 per night.

Comparing the United States and Canadian Fair Trade Markets to the Rest of the World

The North American fair trade market is at a critical stage in development. Private standards and label claims promote goods based on ethical, social and environmental attributes. Frequently also claiming to be organic, these products are becoming harder to compare as competing standards make the market more complex.

Call for Applications: Editorship of the American Journal of Agricultural Economics
Editorship appointments for the American Journal of Agricultural Economics (AJAE) are staggered such that two new appointments are made every two years. The AAEA Board now seeks applications for two editors to be appointed for a four-year term, beginning in January 2016. Each editor handles approximately one-fourth of the submitted manuscripts and makes independent editorial decisions on these submissions. The degree to which candidate’s expertise complements that of the continuing editors, James Vercammen and JunJie Wu, will be considered in the selection process.

In addition, editors share the administrative responsibilities of managing the AJAE. Each editor should plan to dedicate 25 to 40 percent of his/her time to AJAE editorial duties. AAEA will provide financial assistance to defray some portion of the editors’ time and most expenses.

The new editors should be prepared to begin the transition process on August 1, 2015 and expect to be fully engaged in editorial duties by January 1, 2016. The AAEA Board will make final selections by early 2015. Interested candidates can consult the journal website for information on the journal at http://www.ajae.oxfordjournals.org/. Please note that all editors need to maintain their AAEA membership throughout their service to the journal.

Applications should include a brief statement expressing interest which should include applicant’s areas of expertise and editorial philosophy for the AJAE, curriculum vitae (including descriptions of previous editorial work) and statements of administrative support from the candidate’s department chair, dean or other appropriate administrative officer. Applications should be sent electronically via PDF to Brian Mondragón Jones, Executive Director, at bmjones@aaea.org by December 1, 2014. Nominations of potentially interested candidates who can then be solicited for their materials are also welcome.
