Dear colleagues, students, alumni, and friends.<\/p>\n
The preliminary program is out for the Allied Social Sciences Association (ASSA) meeting to be held in San Diego California this January 3-6, 2020, commonly known as the AEA meetings (American Economics Association). As I have done each recent year, I tabulated all of the current BU faculty, graduate students and alumni (that I recognize) who appear in the program using their name and affiliations. This count includes authors and coautors, chairs and discussants. I apologize for inevitably missing some people, particularly alumni. Let me know and I will correct on the on line versions that appear on my web blog.<\/p>\n
This year, despite being held in just about the most remote location possible in the continental US, BU people appear 66 times, <\/strong>down from last year with 87 in Atlanta. This comprises 50 appearances on the program as an author or coauthor, 6 as chairs, and 10 as discussants<\/strong>. The winner this year with the most appearances on the program is perennial activist Pascual Restrepo<\/strong> with 4 appearances, followed by a three way tie between Adam Guren<\/strong>, Shulamit Kahn<\/strong> (Questrom), and Steven Terry<\/strong>. There were sixteen alumni I identified who presented, which is almost certainly an undercount.<\/p>\n This year there are 48 distinct names<\/strong> appearing on the program, comprising 28 faculty, 16\u00a0 alumni, and four Ph.D. candidates<\/strong>. Of the faculty there are 16 from CAS Economics faculty (down from 21 last year), ten from Questrom School of Business, 1 from Law, and \u00a01 from Pardee School of Global Studies.\u00a0 The growth of the Questrom faculty to ten names continues its impressive recent trend, up from 8 QSB faulty last year.<\/p>\n Information about the 2020 San Diego conference and registration is located here.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/conference\/<\/a><\/p>\n Employer Hotel Suite Reservations open on Tuesday September 10th 2019 at 11:00am EDT<\/strong>, and<\/p>\n General Attendee ASSA Registration and Hotel Reservations open on Thursday September 19th<\/sup> 2019 at 11:00am EDT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Preferred hotels usually are booked within the first ten minutes!<\/p>\n If you are in the area (even if you do not attend the ASSA) you are invited to the Boston University Economics Department Reception <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Saturday, Jan. 4, 2020 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM \u00a0<\/strong>Marriott Marquis San Diego, Mission Hills City View<\/p>\n It is not too early to begin planning your paper submissions to the next<\/strong> two ASSA meetings, which are much more convenient and likely cheaper than San Diego:<\/p>\n January 3-5,\u00a0 2021 Chicago<\/strong>, IL<\/strong><\/p>\n January 7-9, 2022 Boston, MA<\/strong><\/p>\n WELL DONE BU!<\/p>\n In the summary below I only show the authors affiliated with BU, without showing the other authors on papers.
