Editor's Note

When it was decided to cancel the 2020 Annual Meeting of the Ohio Association of Economists and Political Scientist due to the ongoing threat of the Covid-19 virus, the Executive Officers in consultation with the editorial staff of the Journal of Economics and Politics decided to compile abstracts in a special issue of the Journal of Economics and Politics in lieu of the 2020 Annual Meeting. The intent was to facilitate dialogue to the benefit of the membership in the absence of the 79th Annual Meeting. The purpose of the OAEPS remains “to encourage and foment the understanding and dissemination of knowledge, and to facilitate dialogue regarding economics and political science, and to sponsor events that carry out these goals.” To this end, the following Special Issue is published and made available to all who might be interested in the topics of that would have been presented during the Annual Meeting. Contact information is provided for each submission so readers can engage authors in constructive discussion without the health treat created by hosting an Annual Meeting during a pandemic.
