Unsung Hero: NBER Conference on Research in Income and Wealth

Here's to the the NBER's ongoing Conference on Research in Income and Wealth (CRIW), unsung hero, home of down-and-dirty measurement mavens since 1935.  Yes, since 1935!  Check out Chuck Holten's fascinating CRIW description in the NBER Reporter, and the full list of associated CRIW volumes published. What a stunning record of steady service.

FYI a typical program (in this case, from last summer) appears below.
