EconHarmony

An AEA Service for Organizing Complete Annual Meeting Session Proposals

EconHarmony for ASSA 2025 is now closed.

An AEA service, EconHarmony began in 2009 and continued in 2024 for the 2025 Annual Meeting program. EconHarmony allows prospective individual paper submitters who are members of the AEA to post information about their paper and search for others with similar interests who might join them to form a complete session submission. It also allows AEA members to volunteer to chair sessions.

COMPLETE SESSIONS HAVE A SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER CHANCE OF MAKING THE PROGRAM THAN INDIVIDUAL PAPERS. 

33% of 270 submitted complete sessions and 13% of 1,165* submitted individual papers made the 2024 AEA Annual Meeting program.

EconHarmony does not replace the formal submission process and it does not guarantee that a session will be included on the program. Rather, it is designed to help prospective authors identify others working on similar questions so they can form a jointly organized complete session to submit in the regular submission process. The normal submitted session includes four papers and a discussant for each.
