Dear Colleagues:
This is a reminder and an invitation for those interested to participate in the91thAnnual Conference of the Western Economic Association (WEA), to be held at theHilton Portland & Executive Tower, Portland, Oregon), June 29-July 3, 2016.
Attached is the call for papers for theContemporary Economic Policy (CEP)invited sessions. Please feel free to pass it along to colleagues/friends that may be interested.
If you have never visited Portland, it is really a very interesting city, full of shops, restaurants, craft beer, coffee shops, and many other interesting things (a good zoo, the famous International Rose Test Garden, etc.). I was in Portland for a conference in April 2015. Though it was not my first visit to the city, itWASthe first time I explored what it had to offer. I visited my old favorite, the iconic Powell’s City of Books (which occupies a city block!!), had one of the best Mexican lunch in the Pearl District, a hearty breakfast at the Thirsty Lion (with boasts 40 draft beers on tap) located alongside the Saturday Farmers Market on the banks of the river, sampled the famous Voodoo donuts, and had a wonderful pizza at Firehouse Pizza (I think that’s the name).
Portland is one of the most pedestrian and transit-friendly cities in the U.S. For more details, please visit:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland,_Oregon
I really believe this is a city worthy of a visit. Oh, by the way, most of the filming of theTwilightmovies sagais a daytrip from Portland. Hope to see you there!
Best,
