Proposals to present papers and organize sessions on topics such as Urbanization, Energy and Environment, Trade and Finance, Income Redistribution, Macro Policy, and the further development of Private Enterprises in China are encouraged. However, all topics within economics, including non-Chinese issues, will also be considered. The deadline for submitting proposals for paper presentations and panels is February 28, 2014.
