Conference: Nebraska Labor Summit

该奖项资助了一系列会议，这些会议将使来自全国各地的经济学家和其他社会科学家聚集在内布拉斯加州林肯的内布拉斯加大学林肯商学院。这次会议将被命名为内布拉斯加州劳工峰会，将为经济学家和其他社会科学家提供一个聚集的空间，讨论他们正在进行的研究，并建立新的合作关系。会议将重点讨论劳动经济学和密切相关的领域。会议的目标是：1）促进思想交流，并为来自中西部的经济学提供一个机会，包括来自附近新兴研究机构的经济学，以形成新的关系，从而扩大他们正在进行和未来工作的范围和质量; 2）让内布拉斯加大学林肯分校和附近机构的本科生和研究生接触前沿研究，建立网络的机会，并有机会与顶级研究人员讨论他们的工作。该会议也有很大的潜力，使更广泛的社区受益，因为劳动领域越来越关注使用因果方法来回答个人，公司和政策制定者迫切感兴趣的问题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

This award funds a series of conferences that will bring economists and other social scientists from around the country together at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Business in Lincoln, Nebraska. The conference, which will be named the Nebraska Labor Summit, will provide a space for economists and other social scientists to gather, discuss their ongoing research, and build new collaborative relationships. The conference will focus on labor economics and closely related fields. The conference objectives are to: 1) foster the exchange of ideas and provide an opportunity for economics from around the Midwest, including from nearby emerging research institutions, to form new relationships that could expand the scope and quality of their ongoing and future work; and 2) expose undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and nearby institutions to frontier research, networking opportunities, and a chance to discuss their work with top researchers. The conference also has strong potential to benefit the broader community because the field of labor is increasingly focused on using causal methods to answer questions of pressing interest to individuals, firms, and policymakers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
