[Air-l] FW: [CYBERTEL] TPRC Call of Papers

[Julie Cohen]

I'd like to put in a plug for this conference (I currently serve on its 
Board of Directors). Historically, the TPRC has been a valuable 
crossover point at which ideas could migrate from the academic 
literature into policy and regulatory processes. Attendance is about 
evenly split between academics and regulators from both the US and other 
countries. While TPRC initially focused more narrowly on economics, 
there has been a real effort in the last 5-10 years to incorporate a 
broader range of perspectives.
