One Day Training Seminar
On February 25th there will be a special one-day training seminar in Washington, DC entitled, "Principles of Ethics, Scientific Integrity, and Responsible Leadership: A One-Day Training Seminar for Economists." The seminar is being taught by Distinguished Professors George DeMartino and Deirdre McCloskey, authors of the Oxford Handbook of Professional Economic Ethics. It will have presentations by the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Directors of the Congressional Budget Office and Bureau of Economic Analysis, and SGE President Amelie Constant, and the keynote luncheon speaker will be Professor William Easterly who will talk about his new book, The Tyranny of Experts. The regular price of the full-day seminar is $280, but a discounted price of $230 is offered to members of organizations supporting the training session (AIRLEAP, BEA, BLS, CBO, Dept. of the Interior, Eastern Econ. Assoc., IZA, Society of Gov’t Economists, and World Bank).
Call for Papers
The Association for Integrity and Responsible Leadership in Economics and Associated Professions (airleap.org) will be holding sponsored sessions at the upcoming annual meetings of the Eastern Economic Association.

VII. Contracted Economic Studies
VIII. Proper Use and Interpretation of Economic Statistics
IX. The Job Market for Economists
