Call for Papers (WEAI-KAEA)

The 93nd Annual Conference of the Western Economic Association International (WEAI) will  be held on June 26 – 30, 2018 at Sheraton Wall Centre, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.  The Korea-America Economic Association (KAEA) plans to organize two sessions at the WEAI conference.  We sincerely invite the members of the KAEA or the KEA to join in this wonderful event.

Theoretical and empirical papers on all aspects of economics are welcome.  Please submit a manuscript or an extended abstract to Professor J.B. Kim (jb.kim@okstate.edu) by e-mail including

(i) the JEL code(s),
(ii) 3-5 key words, and
(iii) your membership status with the KAEA or the KEA

Submission deadline is January 15 (Monday), 2018.  If accepted, your final version manuscript is due June 1 (Friday), 2018.

There is no submission fee for members of the KAEA or the KEA.  In addition, the session participants can register at the WEAI member’s rate regardless of their membership status with the WEAI.  However, all participants will be required to register for the conference and responsible for their own expenses.

Submitted papers will be blind-reviewed by the referees.  All presenters are strongly urged to serve as discussants (or session chairs, if requested) for the WEAI-KAEA sessions.
