Conference Code of Conduct

Wednesday, July 22
Presenters will have 29 minutes to present, followed 10 minutes of discussion from the "room", followed by 1 minute for transition to the next speaker. Since the discussion time is compressed this year, people with a question are strongly encouraged to submit their questions to the organizer (hoxby@nber.org) at least 24 hours before the meeting starts so that they can be prioritized and combined if multiple people have similar questions.
