Listed below are the contributed paper sessions with the number, title, chair, and discussant (if applicable), as well as the e-mail addresses of the chair and discussant. Please send an electronic version of your paper (preferably in Word or WordPerfect) (1) to the organizing committee at ices@ccmail.census.gov, (2) to the chair of your session, and (3) to your discussant (if there is one).
