NBER Summer Institute 1995-1997, Cambridge,MA; 1995, 1996 and 1997

Martin Feldstein SBR-9511383 NBER暑期研究所汇集了来自大学，政府和国际组织的经济学家，为期几天或几周的研讨会，研讨会，会议和合作研究。 1994年夏季研究所包括来自171所大学和非学术机构的677名经济学家，其中58%不隶属于国家经济研究局。 预计今年夏天将有来自许多机构的类似数量的经济学家参加。 特别努力将年轻的经济学家和不隶属于国家经济研究局的经济学家包括在内。 暑期研究所为经济学家提供了一个独特的机会，与其他人密切合作，进行长期和密集的研究。 暑期研究所持续的时间足够长，允许来自不同机构的经济学家之间进行认真的合作。 虽然研究接近完成，重点放在“讲习班”方面的计划，提出新的想法，初步研究思路的发展，并制定联合或协调研究的计划。 暑期学院分为12个课程或研究领域，包括：经济波动，经济史，货币经济学，企业融资，资产定价，产业组织，健康和老龄化，国际研究，劳动研究，生产力和税收。 每个项目都有自己的参与者群体和自己的群体结构。 虽然有相当大的变化之间的程序，一个典型的程序将持续一至三个星期，与时间允许在白天的研究。 课程可能包括各种主题，也可能围绕特定主题组织。

Martin Feldstein SBR-9511383 The NBER Summer Institute brings together economists from universities, government, and international organizations for a few days or weeks of seminars, workshops, conferences and collaborative research. The 1994 Summer Institute included 677 economists from 171 universities and nonacademic institutions, of whom 58% were not affiliated with the NBER. A similar number of economists from a large number of institutions is expected to attend this summer. Special efforts were made to include younger economists and economists not affiliated with the NBER. The Summer Institute provides a unique opportunity for economists to work closely with others for extended and intense periods of research. The Summer Institute lasts long enough to allow serious collaboration among economists from different institutions. While research nearing completion is presented, emphasis is placed on "workshop" aspects of the program, where new ideas are raised, preliminary research ideas are developed, and plans for joint or coordinated research are established. The Summer Institute is organized into twelve programs or areas of study, including: economic fluctuations, economic history, 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 group structure. Although there is considerable variations among the programs, a typical program will last from one to three weeks, with time allowed during the day for research. Programs may include a variety of subjects or they may be organized around specific topics.
