The Community Development and Research Departments of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland invite paper submissions for its 2011 annual Policy Summit, to be held June 9-10, 2011, at the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel.  The policy summit will focus on housing, inequality, neighborhoods, and labor market issues, with special consideration given to research related to the foreclosure crisis. Topics of particular interest include labor mobility and housing lock-in, wealth and income inequality, housing and human capital formation, labor and housing issues in industrial cities, neighborhood effects, and neighborhood formation. Policy-related research and submissions related to housing and labor markets in the Federal Reserve’s Fourth District and the Great Lakes region are encouraged.

The Cleveland Fed’s annual Policy Summit draws an audience of several hundred researchers, practitioners, policymakers, funders, elected and legislative officials, and bankers from across the Great Lakes region.

Travel and accommodation expenses per Federal Reserve guidelines will be covered for presenters.
