Announcing the Launch of the Econometric Society Conference Paper Archive
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Econometric Society Conference Paper Archive, a working paper archive for papers presented at Society conferences. Society members will be offered the opportunity to post their papers permanently on the site after presentation at any regional meeting, the World Congress, or other Society conference. Presenters will also be able to upload slides from the talk if desired.
The archive will hold papers from 2024 on. We will soon be reaching out to those who have already presented at 2024 meetings, specifically, the North American Winter Meeting in San Antonio and the Asia Meeting-C/S/W that took place in Delhi, India. Thereafter, we will send an email to each group of presenters following the conference at which they presented.
We encourage members to update their papers in the archive as they are revised over time. Papers in the archive will be linked to the member's profile as well as the associated regional website.
Please let us know if you have comments or suggestions on this or other Society initiatives.
