An Invitation for Government and Public Service Economists at the Annual Meeting

For the 2027 蝌蚪网 Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, the 蝌蚪网 is pleased to invite economists working in the public sector to its President’s Reception on January 4, 2027, at 6:00 p.m. The reception will be held at the Marriott Marquis Washington, DC, in the Capital and Congress rooms.
