  Call for Papers

2012 Economic Demography Workshop
Population Association of America Annual Meeting
  Hilton San Francisco, Union Square, San Francisco, CA
Wednesday, May 2, 2012

The 2012 Annual Meeting of the Population Association of America will be held Thursday May 3 through Saturday May 5 in San Francisco, CA.  As has been true for more than 20 years, there will also be an Economic Demography Workshop (EDW) from 1-5 pm on the afternoon before the main PAA meeting (Wednesday, May 2, 2012).  The Workshop provides an opportunity for the detailed presentation of 4-9 papers with more economic content than those generally given in the main meetings.
  

  For more information, including past programs, see the EDW website here: http://www.edworkshop.umd.edu/ 
  
You may submit a paper or detailed abstract for consideration by the Program Committee by Friday, January 20, 2011, here: http://editorialexpress.com/conference/edworkshop2012/ 
  
Interested participants may submit abstracts that have also been submitted for presentation at the main PAA meeting. Please use the "Comments" field to indicate whether the abstract has also been submitted for presentation at the main meeting.  Preference will be given to papers that will not also be presented at the main PAA meeting.  The program will be finalized in early February.
