Congratulations!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Boston University is again well represented at the ASSA (AEA) meetings to be held in Philadelphia, January 3-5 2014. Counting coauthors, people presiding and discussants equally, current BU affiliates are on the program 46 times (31 distinct names). In addition, recent BU Economics alumni are also on the program at least 24 times, bringing the total to at least 70 BU participants, nearly tying the 71 participants at the 2013 meetings in San Diego. (This total is almost certainly an undercount, since recognizing the names of BU alumni is imprecise. I apologize for missing some names.)<\/i> Of these 70 participating, 28 are current Economics faculty, 11 are current SMG faculty, one is in the SPH, six were Ph.D. Economics students at the time they submitted, and 24 are alumni. This year three professors share the title for the most appearances on the ASSA program: Alisdair McKay, Kevin Lang and Laurence Kotlikoff, each of whom appears three times on the program in various roles. Well done colleagues!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PS: It is not too early to begin planning for attending the 2015<\/span><\/b> meetings, which will be January, in <\/strong>Boston<\/strong> and are sure to set a new record for BU involvement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PPS. If you attend either conference, plan to attend the BU reception, which is now an ASSA tradition for Saturday evening at 6:00.<\/p>\n

Saturday, Jan 4, from 6-8pm at the Loews Philadelphia- Commonwealth Hall A1.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The preliminary ASSA program is linked here. http:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/aea\/2014conference\/program\/preliminary.php<\/p>\n

Below is a full list of BU participants and the time and place of their sessions. (Also an easy way for you to check for your own time and room although this is the PRELIMINARY program.)<\/p>\n
