Thank you for your interest in organizing a session for the annual meetings of the Eastern Economic Association. General Information Sessions at the EEA meetings cover the full range of topics in economics. Typically, each paper has a discussant, and there is a session chair. Some sessions are organized as panel discussions, in which case there may be several presenters and no set discussants, or one general respondent to a variety of presentations.
Organizers therefore have some flexibility in the design of their sessions.
There are no paper submission fees for papers that are part of organized sessions. Some people have found this confusing, thinking that there are no fees, or that since they have been invited to participate there will not be a fee. Session organizers are therefore asked to be sure that all of their participants are aware of the requirement that they register, the amount of the registration fee, and the deadline by which payment is due. Organizers will also be asked to intervene in cases where their participants do not pay. One can become a member at the same time as one registers for the conference and immediately avail oneself of the member rate.
