When submitting your abstract, you will be asked to choose a subject area. Subject areas are associated with CEA Study Groups and Scientific Committees who will review the abstracts in their respective areas and provide a decision to the program office.

The following table provides an overview of the subject areas associated with the groups. Note that some papers may be reassigned to a different area based on the study group or committee's feedback, the paper's secondary subject, and the program chair's discretion. Link to JEL Categories.
