I write this note during challenging times. Many of us are working from home learning to teach, or collaborate on-line. We also face challenges for the future.
First, let me address the question of our summer meetings. We are continuing to plan for the 2020 AAEA Annual Meeting taking place July 26-28 in Kansas City, MO.
