Call for Papers for the 2012 AEA Meetings. The deadline for submissions to be considered for the January 2012 AEA meeting program is April 1, 2011 for individual papers and April 15, 2011 for session submission. More information is at http://www.aeaweb.org/Annual_Meeting/call_for_papers.php.

Econ-Harmony allows prospective 2012 AEA Meetings individual paper submitters who are members of the Association to post information about their paper and search for others with similar interests who might join them to form a complete session submission, and provides an opportunity to volunteer as a session chair.

Of papers listed on Econ-Harmony for the 2010 and 2011 Meetings, 112 were submitted to the AEA program as individual papers, and 91 were submitted as part of a complete session. Of those submitted as part of a complete session, 15% made the program; of those submitted individually, 9 % made the program. The Program Committee had no knowledge of which papers had been listed on Econ-Harmony when they decided which papers and sessions made the program. Thirty-one percent of 273 submitted complete sessions and 13% of 1404 submitted individual papers made it onto the 2010 Program; 39% of the 287 submitted complete sessions and 17 % of 897 submitted individual papers made it onto the 2011 AEA Annual Meeting Program.
