To be held at the Palmerston North Convention Centre
27 June – 29 June 2012

This is advance notice of the call for papers for the 2012 NZAE Conference, to be held at the Palmerston North Convention Centre. The first call for papers will go out in mid-February.

As in recent years, submitters will be asked to submit a 1,000-word abstract of their papers. Submissions will be quality-assured on the basis of the abstracts. The abstracts will also be used to ration the limited spaces for oral presentations. For the paper to be considered as quality assured, a full paper must be submitted by 14 June.

At the 2012 conference, there will be a limited number of sessions with discussants. Submitters wishing to have their papers included in a discussant session are required to be available to act as a discussant in another session if required, and to have their full paper submitted by 7 June.

The conference will also feature an expanded poster session. Submissions not judged suitable for oral presentations may be included in the poster session. Poster presentations may also be appropriate for work in progress and student research.

As always, papers on any topics in economics are welcome. Submissions from new and emerging researchers, government and private sector economists are especially encouraged.
