The AAEA Board seeks applicants to serve four year terms as Area Editors for the Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (JAAEA). They will join a diverse group of scholars who helped launch the JAAEA. Applications from Scholars across all fields of interest to the broad membership of AAEA are welcome.
Area Editors at the JAAEA are responsible for handling manuscripts in consultation with the Founding/Managing Editor. Manuscripts are assigned by the Founding/Managing Editor to Area Editors who are responsible for soliciting reviews and based on the reviews and their reading of the paper, making a recommendation to the Founding/Managing Editor. The workload for Area Editors involves handling 15-20 papers a year. Area Editors will also help with shortlisting papers for the journal's best paper award.
Applications should be sent electronically via PDF to Allison Ware, the Senior Communications & Members Manager at aware@aaea.org by January 15, 2025. Nominations of potentially interested candidates who can then be solicited for their materials are also welcome. New Area Editors are expected to be in place by July 1, 2025.

“Just before Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida in 2022, residents bought an extra $387 million worth of food, up 128% from the week before . After Hurricane Ian, people who got those disaster benefits spent more on goods and services. There was a 9.5 percentage-point daily increase in the amount of money they spent using their debit cards.”
Tim BeattyIn my first presidential column, I thought I would spend some time talking about how we choose our meeting locations. In my time serving on the board, I've participated in many discussions about where the AAEA should hold our Annual Meetings. An important thing to realize is that our meetings are booked 5-years out. Last year, we signed a contract with the Marriott Marquis in Washington D.C. for our 2029 (Washington, DC) and are sending out the RFP for the 2030 meetings this week. This long planning horizon makes it challenging to make changes in the short run.
So, how does the Board go about choosing a location for the meetings? The first step is when the AAEA staff send out a request for bids to cities across the country. Unfortunately, the size of our meetings rules out many seemingly plausible locations. AAEA meetings are large enough that many sites don't have convention hotels with enough meeting rooms to accommodate the large number of simultaneous sessions we need (a minimum of 30, a 10,000 square foot plenary room, and a 10,000 square foot Poster Hall). While splitting the conference across multiple hotels is something we have done in the past, and are open to considering in the future, this typically comes at a higher price. The same also holds true for meetings centered around a convention center.
