This grant provides renewed funding for the participation of junior faculty in the NBER Summer Institute. For more than twenty five years, NBER's Summer Institute has offered an ideal environment for developing new ideas and forging collaborative work relationships. Summer Institute brings together economists and scholars in other fields from universities, government, and international organizations for a few days or a few weeks of seminars, workshops, conferences, and cooperative research. The Summer Institute is four weeks long, and includes at least 40 sessions organized and co-organized by over 80 individuals. There are more than 1,750 attendees from over 300 universities and non-academic institutions, and in 2008 more than 64% of the individuals who attended Summer Institute were not NBER affiliates. While there are many presentations of work nearing completion, emphasis is placed on the workshop aspects of the program where new ideas are raised, preliminary research ideas are developed, and plans for joint or coordinated research efforts are established. Efforts are made to include a wide variety of new participants, and to reach out to women and minorities. Calls for papers are circulated widely and are available on the NBER website. In 2007 NBER inaugurated a new feature at the Summer Institute, a two-day mini-course entitled "What's New in Econoemtrics." The course is intended to update researchers on the latest techniques in econometrics. The feedback was very positive and NBER held a second-mini-course in 2008 focusing on time-series.Broader Impacts: The NBER Summer Institutes generate timely and influential research on important economic policy questions related to such topics as international financial stability, economic productivity and technology, enviornmental regulations, social security policy, and educational policies. The workshops are an invaluable part of the research infrastructure in ecobnomics and assist the research of a large number of economists.

这笔赠款为初级教师参加 NBER 夏季学院提供了新的资金。二十五年多来，NBER 的暑期学院为发展新想法和建立协作工作关系提供了理想的环境。暑期学院汇集了来自大学、政府和国际组织的其他领域的经济学家和学者，进行为期几天或几周的研讨会、讲习班、会议和合作研究。暑期学院为期四个星期，包括至少 40 场由 80 多人组织和共同组织的课程。共有来自 300 多所大学和非学术机构的 1,750 多名参加者，2008 年参加暑期学院的个人中，超过 64% 不是 NBER 附属机构。虽然有许多即将完成的工作介绍，但重点放在该计划的研讨会方面，其中提出了新想法，制定了初步研究想法，并制定了联合或协调研究工作的计划。我们努力吸纳各种各样的新参与者，并接触到妇女和少数族裔。征文活动广泛传播，并可在 NBER 网站上获取。 2007 年，NBER 在暑期学院推出了一项新功能，即为期两天的迷你课程，题为“经济学新动态”。 该课程旨在向研究人员介绍计量经济学的最新技术。 反馈非常积极，NBER 于 2008 年举办了第二期迷你课程，重点关注时间序列。 更广泛的影响：NBER 暑期学院针对与国际金融稳定、经济生产力和技术、环境法规、社会保障政策和教育政策等主题相关的重要经济政策问题进行了及时且有影响力的研究。这些研讨会是经济学研究基础设施的宝贵组成部分，协助大量经济学家的研究。
