Submit a Conference Abstract

Before submitting your paper information and abstract for the upcoming Bangkok conference, make sure that you've registered to attend (for volunteer papers that you've paid the combined paper submission+registration fee). WEAI members always get the lowest prices, so join or renew first to access the savings!

There is sometimes a delay of up to 30 minutes after a registration is processed before access to the submission portal becomes active.

So that your paper details can be listed properly on the conference platform, program book, and event app, the following information will be collected during the submission process:

  1. Paper presenter's name, professional affiliation, position/title/rank, and e-mail address; same information for coauthors.
  2. Paper title, paper topic area (three appropriate codes from the JEL Classification System), and appropriate keywords.
  3. Abstract of 350 words or less including a statement of the research or policy question and the contribution made by the paper; as well as method(s), model(s) and, if applicable, relevant data including time frame and geographical scope

An email confirmation of your submission will be sent upon completion, however these emails often end up in junk mail, so be on the lookout! 


Volunteer Individual Paper Abstracts

Volunteer sessions are composed of individual papers submitted to the WEAI office for organizing into session groups of three to four related papers. One individual is tasked with chairing the session, and all presenters are expected to provide comments on the other papers in the session. Decision emails will go out in mid-November.
