The AAEA Executive Board invites Track Session proposals for the 2020 AAEA Annual Meeting in Kansas City, MO. Initial proposals need to be submitted by Tuesday, December 3, 2019, to Vanessa Nicholas at vnicholas@aaea.org. Final, detailed submissions associated with each session are due by March 11, 2020. The AAEA Business Office will work with each Section that submits proposals on their final submission.
“The education, training and skills that employers want? They may not be finding it,” said Corey Miller, an economic analyst at University Research Center in Jackson, Miss. He added later that, because the state’s workers are less skilled, it has taken them longer to train and find work even as the labor market tightens.

I write this newsletter from Boston where we just wrapped up two days of meetings with Wiley Publishing. We have entered into an agreement with Wiley to publish the AJAE and AEPP. Our discussions were quite positive, and I believe you will begin seeing some new and innovative changes in 2020. Also consider submitting your work to our two other publications – Choices and Applied Economics Teaching Resources. Having spent two days with some of our editors, let me publically thank them for the hard work and editorial judgements they must make. I am excited about the future of all our journals.
On a related note, I encourage you to consider submitting invited paper proposals for the 2020 AAEA Annual Meeting. These articles may be published in the AEPP. Note this is a change from previous years when the invited papers were submitted to the AJAE. So consider the difference in style. Proposals need to be submitted using the online submission system by Tuesday, December 3, 2019. The system will open in early November. Similarly we are looking for great Pre- & Post-conference Workshop proposals which are due the same day.
