President-Elect Jayson Lusk is
soliciting proposals and suggestions for AAEA invited paper sessions at the 2017
Allied Social Sciences Association (ASSA) Annual
Meeting in Chicago, IL, January, 6-8, 2017. Preference will
be given to those proposals that add to knowledge on public issues of national
and international importance or expand capabilities and tools for economic
research.
Objective
AAEA sessions at the ASSA Annual
Meeting share new knowledge with members of other economics associations as
well as with AAEA members. Sessions may be jointly sponsored with other ASSA
member associations. AAEA encourages sessions that will draw widely from ASSA
attendees. Therefore, preference will be given to proposals that jointly serve
the interests of the AAEA and other economists more broadly.
Publication in AJAE
Papers in these Invited Paper
sessions will be considered for publication in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics in August 2017. Preference
will be given to proposals that reflect a commitment to furnish a high-quality
collection of papers suitable for publication.
Papers will go through a review process, and it is not guaranteed that
all papers in an accepted session will be published. Papers submitted for
review should be in their publish-ready state because there will not be time
for multiple versions and reviews. Discussant comments will not be published.
Authors will be contacted by the AJAE
editors regarding style and length of manuscripts to be submitted to the
editors for publication consideration.
Format
Proposed session formats with
three papers and one discussant or four papers without a discussant are
permitted. Proposals for sessions without a discussant must include a clear
plan for ensuring and fostering participant interaction. Please note that
sessions at ASSA are two hours in length.
Submitting Proposals
All submitted proposals
should include:
- Proposed session title
- A brief (approximately two pages) justification of the session
- Paper titles
- One paragraph abstract describing the objective of, and new knowledge generated by, each paper
- Names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of the session organizer, moderator, paper presenters, and discussants.
It is the responsibility of
the organizer to ensure that all individuals identified in the proposal are
willing to participate.
All presenters/speakers/discussants must be members of
AAEA. A membership waiver request can
be included in the proposal in the case of extenuating circumstances. In
addition, participants need to register for the ASSA meeting. AAEA cannot
grant registration waivers for the meeting.
Submission Deadline
Please send proposals by May
1, 2016, in Word or PDF format to AAEA Senior Meetings Manager, Mary Annen at mannen@aaea.org.
Selection Process
Proposals will be reviewed
and selected by a subcommittee of the AAEA Board. Notifications of acceptance
will be distributed in June.
