AAEA News Announcing the 2022 Fellows The 2022 AAEA Fellows Class will receive their award at the 2022 AAEA Annual Meeting in Anaheim, CA. In alphabetical order the class is as follows:
The AAEA Business Office would like to formally congratulate our upcoming Fellows. AAEA Mentoring Award Deliberate, purposive, mentoring takes time and effort. Through the process of collaborating with a mentee, a mentor shows a mentee the ‘ropes’ of the profession, helps to identify and cultivate the mentee’s strengths, and opens up networks and professional opportunities. To mentor is to commit time and effort. The benefits of mentoring—colleagues from diverse backgrounds staying in the profession and fully expressing their potential—are enjoyed by the entire profession. Nominations are due on February 9, 2022. Bruce Gardner Memorial Prize for Applied Policy Analysis Award The Bruce Gardner Memorial Prize for Applied Policy Analysis Award recognizes outstanding impact on agricultural, food, environmental, development and other related policy, based on sound foundations in economic theory, in the tradition of Bruce Gardner. Policy issues are interpreted in their broadest sense. They may relate to either a national or international situation. The purpose of the award is to encourage sound economic analysis of a broad set of public policy issues that provides timely and relevant information for more effective public policy and program discussions. The award is intended to focus attention on important efforts in research, education or public service, which facilitate the policy process and improve public performance and understanding. A maximum of one award is given annually. The award will carry a cash prize of $1,500 and plaque of recognition financed by the Bruce Gardner Memorial Special Purpose Fund of the AAEA Trust. The Bruce Gardner Memorial Prize for Applied Policy Analysis Award Subcommittee is encouraged to generate nominations to assure that all outstanding policy contributions are considered. Nominations are due on February 9, 2022.

Announcing the South Asia Section of AAEA The section aims to facilitate the work of AAEA members and other professionals in applied economics and policy issues related to South Asian countries. The section will include members, but not limited to, from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan, i.e., economists of Indian sub-continent origin, and professionals and economists, members of AAEA, working on or interested in economic issues of South Asia. The section will serve as a forum for exchanging ideas, disseminating research, and identifying opportunities for collaboration among members and other professionals in academia, industry, government, and scholars in the region. The South Asia Section will also provide a forum for members to learn about professional development and networking opportunities. The section will mentor junior AAEA members with interest in this area. Save the Date: National Association of Agricultural Economics Administrators Conference April 4-5, 2022 Additional meeting details and for guest room reservations click here Meetings will take place at Holiday Inn Washington Capitol National Mall beginning at 8:00 am on Monday, April 4, 2022. Upcoming Workshop: Using Scanner Data for Food Economics Research—Resources and Approaches for New and Advanced Researchers Dates: August 3-4, 2022 (immediately following the AAEA meetings) AEPP Special Issue Call for Submissions: The editors of AEPP invite authors to submit abstracts for a special issue on COVID-19 in South Asia. Over the last two years aggregate economic growth in many South Asian countries has been badly hit, with COVID-19 exposing structural vulnerabilities and threatening to undo decades of progress in what was the fastest growing region in the world pre-pandemic. The unravelling of these economies has serious implications for rural livelihoods and food and nutrition security, raising key questions on the role of social protection and resilience of agri-food systems. This issue will focus on forward-looking policy-relevant applied work on these themes, outlining the impacts of the pandemic in the region and lessons learnt for similar shocks going forward. Call for Papers Applied Economics Perspectives and Policy - Deadline extended Call for Submissions: Submissions will be accepted for the special issue through February 15, 2022. We encourage submissions sooner to be able to help readers benefit from accepted submission. All articles will go through a double-blind peer review process and be available online via Advanced Access for readers once accepted. Call for Papers Water Economics has been taught for many decades at undergraduate and graduate levels. Teaching approaches included the traditional profit/utility-maximizing agents' behavior (farmers, households) where individuals decide the allocation of a given amount of water among consuming activities. Main issues such as availability, allocation, pricing, investment, technology, and management of water resources have been at the forefront of the field of water economics. In recent decades, water resources worldwide have seen many transformations both locally and globally, making the challenges facing water-using agents much more complicated and, as a result, higher skills are needed for the tools and methods they employ. Call for Nominations Spring 2022 Nomination packets and letters of recommendation (self-nominations only) should be submitted to Valentina Hartarska (Chair, CWAE Awards Subcommittee) by March 21, 2022 at: aaea.cwae@gmail.com. Senders will be notified of receipt. People Section

The Interagency Council on Statistical Policy's Recommendation for a Standard Application Process (SAP) for Requesting Access to Certain Confidential Data Assets As many of our AAEA colleagues may know, the federal government is currently developing a standard application process (SAP) that will make it much easier to apply for access to vitally important restricted-use data sets. The SAP will provide a single online portal for applying for access to confidential data from 16 federal statistical agencies and units and a searchable inventory of metadata for confidential federal data assets. The Office of Management and Budget is currently asking for feedback from the public on a preliminary plan for implementing the SAP (Federal Register Notice). OMB is particularly interested in feedback on key elements of the plan, including:
We recognize the value of your input on this important new effort. Experts like you have a unique understanding of the challenges involved in providing broad access to confidential data. Act now to ensure your voice is heard on this important federal initiative. Comments must be provided in writing no later than March 16, 2022. For more information on how to review the proposal and submit comments, click here. INTERNATIONAL CONSORTIUM ON APPLIED BIOECONOMY RESEARCH July 5 to 8, Bologna, Italy Innovation is fundamental for ensuring societies are able to produce more, while requiring fewer inputs. Without innovation-driven productivity gains, the problems outlined by Malthus over 200 years ago would be more pronounced in modern societies. Innovations along supply chains are essential to meeting the needs of increasing populations, while simultaneously striving to ensure production is as sustainable as possible. |
