NBER Summer Institute to be held in Cambridge, MA July-August, 1992-93

国家经济研究局暑期研究所将来自大学、政府和国际组织的经济学家聚集在一起，进行为期几天或几周的研讨会、研讨会、会议和合作研究。去年的夏季学院包括来自179所大学的709名经济学家。预计今年夏天将有类似数量的学生参加。为了吸纳更年轻、知名度较低的经济学家，他们做出了特别努力。夏季学院由12个专业组成：经济波动、货币经济学、企业融资、资产定价、产业组织、健康与老龄化、国际研究、劳动研究、生产率和税收。每个项目都有自己的参与者群体和自己的结构。尽管不同的项目有相当大的差异，但一个典型的暑期学院将持续一到三周，每天上午和下午的研讨会都致力于个人研究。课程可以包括各种主题，也可以围绕特定主题进行组织。该研究所为经济学家提供了一个独特的机会，可以在他们的专业领域与其他人密切合作，进行更长时间和密集的研究。尽管许多会议允许研究人员在几个小时内交流思想，但只有这个研究所持续的时间足够长，可以让来自不同机构的经济学家进行认真的合作。虽然研究接近完成，但主要的重点是通过提出初步研究和开发联合或协调研究工作的想法和计划来测试新想法。

The National Bureau of Economic Research Summer Institute brings together economists from universities, government and international organizations for a few days or a weeks of seminars, workshops, conferences, and collaborative research. Last year's Summer Institute included 709 economists from 179 universities. A similar number is expected to attend this summer. Special efforts are made to include younger and less well known economists. The Summer Institute is organized into 12 programs: economic fluctuations, monetary economics, corporate finance, asset pricing, industrial organization, health and aging, international studies, labor studies, productivity, and taxation. Each program has its own group of participants and its own structure. Although there is considerable variation among the programs, a typical Summer Institute will last for one to three weeks, with seminars each morning and afternoons devoted to individual research. Programs may include a variety of subjects or they may be organized around specific topics. The Institute provides a unique opportunity for economists to work closely with others in their areas of specialty for extended and intense periods research. Although numerous conferences permit researchers a few hours in which to exchange ideas, only this institute lasts long enough to allow for serious collaboration among economists from different institutions. While research nearing completion is presented, the major emphasis is placed on testing new ideas by presenting preliminary research and developing ideas and plans for joint or coordinated research efforts.
