Collaborative Research: Summer Workshops in Theoretical Economics (July - August 2000, 2001, and 2002 in Palo Alto, California)

这笔拨款为斯坦福理论经济研究所（SITE）每年夏季举办的年度经济理论夏季研讨会提供了新的支持。这个为期六周的研讨会汇集了杰出的学者和年轻的经济学家，介绍和讨论他们目前的研究。这个研讨会系列刚刚完成了它的第30个年头，并继续作为一个研究经济理论、数学经济学和相关领域创新主题的国际论坛。SITE项目所涵盖的主题和会议内容为经济学家聚集在一起提供了宝贵而独特的机会。一些主题，如一般均衡，微观经济理论，博弈论，是SITE的长期利益。然而，SITE会议的主题已经演变，就像经济理论和数学经济学在经济学中普遍演变一样。因此，基于新主题的会议，如基于理论模型的实证工作、计算方法、战略互动、理论公共财政和理论宏观经济学，代表了近年来SITE所采取的新方向，并有望在未来几年继续下去。更多的应用课程，如计算和基于理论的计量经济学，侧重于经济理论和数学技术的关系。与典型的宏观经济会议相比，宏观经济学会议也更侧重于这些主题的理论和数学方面。

This grant provides renewed support for the annual Summer Workshops on Economic Theory conducted each summer by the Stanford Institute of Theoretical Economics (SITE). This six-week collection of workshops brings together prominent scholars as well as younger economists for presentation and discussion of their current research. This workshop series has just completed its 30th year and continues to serve as an international forum for the study of innovative topics in economic theory, mathematical economics, and related areas. The topics covered in SITE programs and the content of the sessions offer valuable and unique opportunities for economists to come together. Some topics, such as general equilibrium, microeconomic theory, and game theory, are long-term interests of SITE. However, the topics of SITE sessions have evolved, just as economic theory and mathematical economics have evolved in economics generally. Accordingly, sessions based on newer topics, such as empirical work based on theoretical models, computational methods, strategic interactions, theoretical public finance, and theoretical macroeconomics, represent new directions that SITE has taken in recent years and expects to continue in future years. The more applied sessions at SITE, such as computation and theory-based econometrics, focus on the relation to economic theory and mathematical techniques. The macroeconomics sessions are also more focussed on the theoretical and mathematical aspects of those topics than the typical macroeconomic conference.
