This conference aims to promote academic exchanges among Chinese economists and those interested in the Chinese economy in a North American venue. It also provides professional development opportunities for doctoral candidates in North America who work on China-related research and/or are interested in China-based employments. This conference will have designated student sessions and provide other extended activities for these candidates. We encourage participating institutions, especially Chinese universities to recruit at the conference for new faculty and pursue visiting opportunities in North America for their faculty members. This conference also encourages student participation by offering Gregory Chow Rising Star Award, travel subsidies, and valuable opportunities for students to network with experienced scholars.
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
The CES invites both members and non-members to submit papers and/or to propose organized sessions at the 2023 CES North America Conference. All fields of specialization within Economics will be considered. To submit, please visit https://www.china-ces.org/Conferences/ConferenceDefault.aspx?ID=3053 Follow the instructions to enter the paper title, author name(s), JEL code(s), keywords and abstract of the paper and to upload a PDF file of your paper. Submissions without a complete paper will be considered, but preferences will be given to those with complete papers. Deadline for submission is January 15, 2023. We expect to send out notification of decision around January 30, 2023.
We are very excited to announce that there will be Rising Star Sessions on Friday afternoon (right before the welcome reception). All presenters will be Ph.D. students and we will arrange established scholars as discussants. Each session will consist of 3 papers for a total of 1.5 hours.

If you would like to organize one or more sessions on a specific topic and have speakers/presenters lined up, please submit your proposal to Qihong Liu (qliu@ou.edu) and Yang Song (ysong@colgate.edu). Each organized session should consist of four individual papers. Proposals should contain a tentative name of the session, titles of papers along with their abstracts, as well as names of session presenters and discussants with their e-mails.

GREGORY CHOW RISING STAR AWARD AND BEST PAPER AWARD
We will select two outstanding papers presented at the 2023 CES North America conference for the Gregory Chow Rising Star Award and Best Paper Award, respectively. All papers presented at the Rising Star Sessions (on Friday) will be automatically considered for the Rising Star Award.

To be eligible for consideration for this prestigious award, the primary author of the paper must be a junior scholar who received his/her PhD within the last five years (no earlier than May 2018).
PUBLICATIONS
The CES plans to select a group of high-quality papers presented at the conference for a special issue at China Economic Review. Papers submitted for consideration of the special issue still need to go through regular review process. Details will be provided later, with Special Issue Call for Papers out in Fall 2023.

Limited travel subsidy of up to $500 per person are available to presenting authors. Preference will be given to students or junior faculty (received their doctoral degree May 2018 or later) and underrepresented groups. Recipients of the travel fund must be CES members who are current on dues while new members may receive priority. Eligible presenters may indicate their interest in applying for the travel subsidy when responding to the decision regarding their abstract/paper submission.
Applicants for travel subsidy need to send appropriate documentations to Qihong Liu (qliu@ou.edu) and Chunbei Wang (chunbei.wang@ou.edu) by February 6, 2023. We hope to announce decision by February 13, 2023.
