The CEA 2022 Submission Portal is now closed (February 18th, 2022 Deadline):

Format Update: 

The 2022 meetings of the Canadian Economics Association will be held in a new, blended on-line plus in-person format. On Tuesday May 31st, there will be a day of on-line only sessions to accommodate those presenters who are not able to attend in person. The set up for these sessions will be the same as the one used in last year’s on-line only conference. There will also be an on-line networking event.

On Friday and Saturday, June 3rd and 4th, there will be an in-person conference. The in-person conference will follow the usual format for the Friday and Saturday CEA meetings, with regular sessions, panels, State of the Art Lectures, Purvis and CWEC lunches, and other events. A reception is planned for the Friday night. 

Selected talks on Friday and Saturday, including State of the Art Lectures and plenary talks, will be streamed via zoom so that they are available to on-line registrants. Other on-line events will be announced as details are confirmed.

There will be no CEA sessions on Sunday June 5th. 

Authors will be asked to select the format they want to present in when they submit their paper.  We will attempt to accommodate requests to switch presentation formats later (e.g. from on-line to in-person) but cannot guarantee that such requests will be fulfilled.

Delegates who register for the in-person conference are welcome to attend the on-line day if they wish for no additional charge. On-line registrants can choose to upgrade their conference registration at any time and attend the in-person sessions.  

SUBMISSION PORTAL

The email address used in the submission portal needs to be same as your CEA account (confirmed by selecting "Edit my Profile" under your login in top right hand corner).

An author is asked to only submit one abstract for review. Please withdraw any paper that you do not want reviewed, but if an author submits more than one paper, the latest submission will be considered for review and all earlier submissions will be removed. 

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Paula Emery at cea.conference@gmail.com

Submission Instructions and FAQs:

Submission to a Track

In our new conference platform, when submitting your abstract, you will be asked to direct your submission to a Track. These tracks are the CEA Study Groups and Scientific Committees who will review the abstracts in their respective areas and provide a decision to the program office.

Not certain what track to select in Step 1? The following table provides an overview of the topics for each track in the submission portal. The specific topic is added in step 5 while an optional secondary topic can be added in step 6 of the submission process. Note that some papers may be reassigned to a different track based on the study group or committee's feedback, the paper's secondary subject, and the program chair's discretion.  Link to JEL Categories.

Why do I have to submit my paper to a track?

The track feature in our submission portal is required to manage the subsequent review process in our new conference management system. This allows the program office to direct your submission to the appropriate review group.

Do I have to be a member of a Study Group to submit to their track?

No, you do not need to be a member of a specific Study Group to submit to their track in the portal. You are, however, welcome to learn more about each study group by visiting their webpage and participating in their activities.  
 

Can I Edit My Submission/Abstract?
