President's Message January 2019 Happy 2019! This is the beginning of the year, a time for hope and new beginnings. I hope that 2019 will be calmer and better than 2018. AAEA had very good Invited Paper sessions at ASSA in Atlanta. I always enjoyed the calming city and look forward to our summer meeting in warmer and friendlier weather. AAEA News Selected Presentation Papers and Posters AAEA seeks submissions for Selected Presentations for the 2019 AAEA Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA. Selected Presentations are a submission category that represents both Selected Papers and Selected Posters. All submissions are reviewed and accepted together, and only after acceptance are the submissions designated as a paper or poster. At the time of submission, individuals will have the option for their submission to be considered as a poster only. There is no paper only option. Due to the current government shut-down that affects a number of our AAEA members, we are extending the 2019 AAEA Annual Meeting submission deadline to January 23, 2019. We encourage everyone to upload their submissions prior to this deadline using the online submission system.
