Cliometrics Conferences for 2018, 2019, and 2020

该奖项资助三个会议，这将刺激新的研究在跨学科领域的历史计量学，它结合了经济学，统计学，历史学，人口学，社会学，人类学，解剖学和气候学以及其他学科，以研究有关经济理论和现代经济发展的核心问题。这些会议将包括研究生在内的年轻学者与一群优秀的资深学者聚集在一起，参加研讨会，对早期研究成果进行深入的评论。其目标是提高研究质量，促进研究生培养，并让年轻学者建立更深的研究网络。其结果是对美国经济和国际经济的演变和结构动态有了更好的科学认识。这些会议推动科学发展，促进美国学生在这一领域的培训，并为政府和企业决策如何影响美国经济竞争力提供了宝贵的启示。

This award funds three conferences that will stimulate new research in the interdisciplinary area of cliometrics, which combines economics, statistics, history, demography, sociology, anthropology, anatomy, and climatology as well as other disciplines to examine core questions about economic theory and the development of modern economies. The conferences bring together young scholars, including graduate students, with a group of excellent senior scholars to engage in workshop sessions that give intensive commentary on early research results. The goal is to improve research quality, promote graduate training, and allow young scholars to build deeper research networks. The result is better scientific knowledge about the evolution and structural dynamics of the U.S. economy and the international economy. The conferences advance science, promote the training of U.S. students in this area, and shed valuable light on how government and business decisions can affect the U.S. economic competitiveness.
