Submission Instructions

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?

Yes! Your submission details can be edited during and after submission up until the submission deadline of January 28th, 2022.  During submission, once you have filled in a "Step" you can return to that step by clicking on the  desired  "Step" button listed in the left hand column - Do NOT use back button. Up until the submission deadline, January 28, 2022, you can edit the submitted abstract under "my submissions" in the Ex Ordo portal. Click on the abstract and choose "edit" near the bottom. After making changes, save your work.

What Format Should I Select?

Choose the session format that would best best suit your plans for this year's conference. Sessions will be 90 minutes long with a session chair. Discussants may be assigned but this is at the discretion of the session organizer or chair. 

  • In-Person Session Format: this format will include 3 or 4 presentations per session. Time will be approximately evenly allocated to each presenter, with sufficient time for discussants, if applicable, and audience Q&A. 
  • On-line Session Format: this format will include more presenters per sessions. You will be instructed that the number of slides for your presentation be in the range of five or six. The chair of a session will confirm how much time each presenter will have allotted. This is based on the number of participants registered in the session, by the registration deadline, which is approximately six weeks before the conference start date. 
  • I Don't Know Yet: If you have not yet confirmed your in-person or on-line attendance, please pick the most likely scenario at the time of submission. Please update your choice by the submission deadline, January 28th by choosing "my submissions" in the Ex Ordo portal and then choose the "Format" step on the left hand side. 

What is the maximum word limit for an abstract?

The limit is 250 words for the abstract content. In addition to the abstract, we encourage you to submit full-length papers by providing a URL in Step 6. Please provide title (in proper title format) and the abstract in Step 3.

Where do I enter co-authors?

Enter your co-authors in Step 4. Please provide co-authors names. It is important that the submitting author is listed as the presenting author. If you determine that you cannot present, then we can switch who the presenter author will be.  Your co-author will receive a confirmation email as well when you submit.

Where do I enter the URL/Link to my paper?

Enter in Step 6 - Additional Information.

Where do I enter my paper's secondary topic?

Add a topic area that was not listed or a secondary topic area, if applicable in Step 6. 

Can I add comments to my submission?

Yes, please enter your comments in step 6. For example, if your submission is part of a special session, please provide the organizers name and the name of the session in this area.
