Pennsylvania Economic Association 2013 Conference Hosted by the University of Scranton May 30 (Thursday) - June 1 (Saturday), 2013 Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA The Pennsylvania Economics Association welcomes papers in all areas of economics and business. While the association is a regional professional organization, papers for presentation at the conference are not limited to regional economic or business issues. Papers are organized by field of economics for presentation in our concurrent sessions. Sessions are also organized for papers in related business disciplines – accounting, finance, law, management, and marketing. The conference opens on Thursday evening with a reception for all conference participants; concurrent sessions are scheduled for Friday and Saturday of the conference. Benefits to participants includes receiving collegial feedback on current research, networking with economists and business faculty interested in research and teaching, the opportunity to publish your paper in the conference Proceedings, and the opportunity to submit your paper for inclusion in the Association’s peer-reviewed, Cabell’s-listed journal – the Pennsylvania Economic Review. The schedule is highlighted on Friday with a luncheon presentation by a distinguished luncheon speaker and an afternoon roundtable discussion by the Federal Reserve. The conference is also hosting its Third Annual Undergraduate Research Paper Contest, with the winning author receiving a $200 cash prize, commemorative plaque, among other benefits.

Paper Proposal Deadline: May 1, 2013 [CLOSED] Late Registration After May 1, 2013 (University of Scranton Campus Map & Directions) Special Information for International Participants The Pennsylvania Economic Association (PEA) is pleased to welcome participants from around the world to its annual conference.  Each year representatives from various countries present at the conference and enjoy the company of fellow economists.  It is important to note that the PEA will notify you via email or surface mail that your paper has been accepted for presentation at the conference.  However, the PEA is unable to provide any additional supporting materials to potential international participants for purposes of visa acquisition or for making other travel arrangements.  The PEA will not provide additional letters, telephone calls, faxes, or telegrams in support of visa applications.  Your written notification of the acceptance of your paper for presentation at the conference is the limit to the association's ability to provide you with supporting documentation for travel purposes. Unfortunately, due to a very high cancellation rate from international applicants in recent years, the association will provide only provisional acceptance of conference papers until receipt of the individual's registration fee; these fees must be paid in U.S. funds.  This prepayment requirement will be waived for any international applicant that had previously attended a PEA conference.  All conference participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from the conference site.
