Dear colleagues,

The Society for the Advancement of Behavioral Economics (SABE) is inviting proposals to organize the SABE session at the Allied Social Sciences Associations (ASSA) meeting in 2022 and/or the Southern Economic Association (SEA) meeting in 2021.

The ASSA is a three-day meeting organized by the American Economic Association (AEA) in conjunction with 58 associations from related disciplines. In 2022 the meeting will take place in Boston, MA (January 7-9, Sheraton Boston). The ASSA meeting is very prestigious and therefore of significant importance to SABE. Previous SABE sessions at the ASSA can be found here: 2019, 2020, 2021.

The 91st Annual Meeting of the SEA will be held in Houston, TX, at the Marriott Marquis Houston, November 20-22, 2020. The Southern Economic Association is one of the oldest economics associations in the United States, dating back to a conference held in Atlanta in November 1928.

If you are interested in organizing the SABE Session with the focus on Behavioral Economics at the ASSA and/or the SEA meeting, please fill out the Session Proposal Application (ASSA SEA 2021-2022) and send it along with a PDF version of your CV to assa@sabeconomics.org by May 1, 2021.

Download the Session Proposal Application

Please note that priority for organizing the ASSA session of SABE will be given to applicants who have not done so in the past 3 years.

In addition, while a tentative proposal is generally acceptable, a detailed, confirmed, and well thought-out proposal is appreciated, and will be preferred over a more tentative proposal, all things equal.

Please forward this email to scholars who might be interested in this call for proposals.

Looking forward to your application,

Michelle Baddeley
SABE President
