This is a call for papers for the Illinois Economics Association (IEA) conference! The 53rd annual meeting of the IEA will be held on Friday, October 25, 2024 at the DePaul University Loop Campus in downtown Chicago. We welcome topics from all areas of economics. The submission deadline is September 25, 2024, and all proposals for organized sessions and individual paper abstracts should be emailed to Nick Larsen (President-Elect, IEA). Submission should include a general JEL classification. Proposals for panel discussions and/or complete sessions (3 to 4 papers with discussants) are encouraged. If you are not presenting a paper, please let us know if you are willing to serve as a discussant or session chair by contacting Dr. Larsen as well.
Interested in building your skillset in research and teaching? The IEA will be launching a set of trainings in topics that are highly relevant for educators and practitioners, including R software, pedagogical practices, and more!
The IEA will also continue to hold its annual competition for Ph.D. students. Interested students should submit their completed papers to the IEA by email by September 25. Papers co-authored with faculty are not eligible for the student paper competition but are welcome in the regular conference sessions. Three to four submitted papers will be chosen as finalists and be presented by the students in one of the sessions on October 25, so please plan on attending if you submit your paper to the competition.
