Forty-First Annual Meeting of the Western Regional Science Association

Hyatt Regency Monterey

February 17 – 20, 2002


Version 5.0; updated 14 February, 2002

 


PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS: Please check this Program closely to find the scheduling of your paper as well as your discussant and/or chair
assignment(s).  To help you in this task, see the Participant Locator below.Please note that longstanding WRSA tradition and policy is that all paper presenters may be assigned discussant and/or chair duties.  The Program
Co-chairs have attempted to select persons with appropriate skills and interests to discuss each paper, given the very limited number of “degrees of freedom”
imposed by scheduling constraints.  Even if you do not consider yourself to be the ideal discussant for the paper you have been assigned, rest assured that the most
interesting suggestions and questions sometimes come from scholars with slightly different perspectives than those of the author.

The Program Co-chairs consider the Program posted here to be “final” with respect to scheduling papers and will resist making any changes.
They’ve attempted to honor all scheduling requests received prior to December 1.  Any further program changes must be kept to a minimum due to the fullness of the
Program and the need not to inconvenience others with last-minute swaps. Even a seemingly simple change will often lead to a chain reaction of other changes.
Please do, however, continue to check this web-site for the most up-to-date version of the Program between now and the opening of the conference in late
February.

Feel free to print out and/or download this Program.  This year you will not be receiving a hard-copy version in the regular mail.  (In the past these often took quite
sometime to reach participants and did not always contain the most up-to-date information.)  Copies of the papers will be e-mailed or mailed out to
discussants and session chairs in early January.  If you revise your paper after our versions have been sent out, it will be your responsibility to get any newer versions directly to your discussant and chair.  E-mail addresses are given in the Participant Locator.
