9810179 Feldstein For many years, the National Bureau of Economic Research has organized a semi-annual Universities' Research Conference (URC) in Cambridge. The URC brings together economists from across the country for two days of discussions on a particular topic. These conferences have been very successful in opening the lines of communication and establishing working relationships between economists who work within a particular field but are located at universities across the country. Continued support of the URC by the National Science Foundation would help to ensure that this valuable forum will continue. Conference topics are chosen for their relevance to current economic policy discussions as well as their interest to academic economists. Recent conferences have focused on the effects of large government budget deficits on exchange rates and international capital flows, the role of firms in labor markets, taxation and financial behavior. Papers for presentation at the conferences are solicited from over 125 economics departments and business schools. Conference organizers select a mix of established and less well known researchers. Discussants and other conference participants are also chosen to encourage interaction among researchers with similar interests at different universities. A typical conference includes 7 to 10 papers and about 80 participants from over 40 different universities. i

9810179费尔德斯坦多年来，国家经济研究局每半年在剑桥举办一次大学研究会议(URC)。城市资源中心将来自全国各地的经济学家聚集在一起，就一个特定主题进行为期两天的讨论。这些会议非常成功地打开了沟通渠道，建立了经济学家之间的工作关系，这些经济学家在特定领域工作，但位于全国各地的大学。国家科学基金会对城市资源中心的持续支持将有助于确保这一有价值的论坛继续下去。选择会议主题是因为它们与当前的经济政策讨论相关，以及它们对学术经济学家的兴趣。最近的会议集中讨论了巨额政府预算赤字对汇率和国际资本流动的影响、企业在劳动力市场中的作用、税收和金融行为。向超过125个经济系和商学院征集了在会议上发表的论文。会议组织者选择了一些知名的和不太知名的研究人员。讨论者和其他会议参与者也被选中，以鼓励不同大学具有相似兴趣的研究人员之间的互动。一个典型的会议包括7到10篇论文和来自40多所不同大学的大约80名参与者。我
