2023 Annual Conference Call for Abstract SubmissionsCall for Late-Breaking Abstract Submissions To further enrich the conference program, the Society for Benefit-Cost Analysis has opened a call for late-breaking abstract submissions and extended the deadline for submitting proposals to present online at its 2023 Annual Conference to be held on March 9-10 in person at The George Washington University, Washington, DC, and March 13-14 online. We are pleased to welcome back participants of our Annual Conference to meet in person in addition to building on the success of the last two years’ online conferences by also allowing for participants who are unable to attend conferences in person. To facilitate conference planning, during the abstract submission process you will be asked to choose between presenting in person, online, or either (at the discretion of the Program Committee). To be guaranteed consideration by the Program Committee,
In addition to choosing whether you will present in person or online, you may choose to submit an individual research presentation, in which case the Program Committee will combine it with other presentations to form a session, if accepted. Alternatively, you may choose to submit an organized session in one of four formats: (1) A set of four individual research presentations, (2) A set of three individual research presentations and a discussant, (3) A roundtable discussion with a chair and up to six speakers, or (4) An innovative session with a format to be determined by the session organizer. To promote widespread participation, submissions are limited to one abstract per presenter, although you may be listed as co-author on an unlimited number of other presentations. In addition, you may submit two abstracts if one is for an individual presentation and the second is part of an organized session. Submit your abstract>>
The presentation and panel titles are limited to 80 characters and abstracts are limited to 300 words. As relevant, the abstracts should include an introduction/problem statement, method, results, and any conclusions. Consider addressing the following questions: (1) What research question(s) are you trying to answer? (2) Does the paper present new data or new analysis of existing data? (3) What is novel about this research? and (4) What did you find? Submission of an individual presentation, session, or roundtable is viewed as a firm commitment to participate in the conference if accepted. Jerry Ellig Award for Best Student Presentation at the Annual Meeting: To honor Jerry’s inspirational legacy, the George Washington University Regulatory Studies Center established a recurring prize at the Society for Benefit-Cost Analysis Annual Conference for the best graduate student paper that applies economic, law, political science, policy analysis, and/or public administration concepts to real policy problems. As a result, we encourage full-time students to submit their research abstracts for consideration. Submit your abstract>>
