Let us introduce readers to some of the projects that we are working on. In addition, Professor Yang is in charge of fostering an opportunity for research collaboration between the KAEA members and the members of the Korean Economic Association. Professor Choi will take care of all balloting including one for executive secretary. We would like to encourage all our members in the U.S. and in Korea to participate in the KAEA sessions in Boston. Those of you who teach at doctoral institutions are also encouraged to send the names of Korea-born doctoral students to Professor Choi.
KAEA membership is waived for graduate students.
Paid members of the KAEA who are seriously interested in studying issues of the North-South economic integration are encouraged to prepare papers for the conference. Finally at the invitation of Professor Park Seung, president of the Korean Economic Association, our directory of paid members will be a part of the KEA's 1999 membership directory. The SEA meeting is large in scope with about 100 organized sessions and is participated by many other associations. A wide range of topics, both empirical and theoretical, are welcome which do not have to be related to Korea. The 2000 convention of the Allied Social Science Association will be held in Boston, Massachusetts, January 7-9, 2000.
