Dear SABE Affiliate,

SABE will hold a poster session in conjunction with the AER-ASSA annual meetings in Boston, Jan 6-9, 1999, in association with the Industrial Relations Research Association (IRRA). The SABE session will be held TBA at TBA, You are invited to submit a proposal for a poster-paper to be presented in this session.

Poster sessions encourage interaction between presenters and the viewers. Posters can portray succinctly and visually, either a model, theory, or an empirical study, and invite viewers to discuss the paper with the presenter.

Below are instructions on how to prepare a poster.

If you've attended poster sessions before (such as SABE's poster session at the AEA meetings in New Orleans and Chicago), you know how effective they can be. If you've never attended one--we invite you to try your hand at preparing one.

We look forward to seeing you, either as a presenter or viewer, in Boston.

Posters are mounted on poster boards. The space available for SABE's posters permits about 10 poster-papers to be mounted.

Specific Instructions:

1. Prepare 4-5 pages on ordinary letter-sized paper (8.5" x 11"). The written or graphic material should fit inside a box measuring 5" x 6" (11.5cm x 15 cm).

2. Enlarge each page on 11" x 17" paper. For example, if you enlarge each page 41% twice, you get an 11" x 17" page twice the size of the original. If you use 12-point print in your original, then after enlargement your print will be 24 point--big enough to read easily, even from a distance.

3. After enlargement, your poster-paper should comprise 4-5 pages, each 11' x 17'. Each page should be numbered so that they can be arranged in logical order on a Poster Board.

Page One: Title, Author(s), and a short Abstract

Page Two: Main Results (perhaps as a "bullet" list)
