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

这笔赠款为斯坦福大学理论经济研究所(SITE)每年夏季举办的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知名学者和年轻的经济学家，介绍和讨论他们目前的研究。这一系列研讨会刚刚结束了第30个年头，并继续成为研究经济理论、数理经济学及相关领域创新主题的国际论坛。网站计划中涵盖的主题和会议内容为经济学家提供了宝贵和独特的机会。一些话题，如一般均衡、微观经济理论和博弈论，都是场地的长期利益。然而，现场会议的主题已经演变，就像经济学理论和数理经济学在一般经济学中的演变一样。因此，基于较新主题的会议，如基于理论模型、计算方法、战略互动、理论公共财政和理论宏观经济学的实证工作，代表了SITE近年来采取的新方向，并预计将在未来几年继续下去。在现场更多的应用课程，如计算和基于理论的计量经济学，侧重于与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多地关注这些话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.
