Summer Workshop in Theoretical Economics to be held at Stanford University, Stanford CA Summer 1990-1992

在过去的二十年里，斯坦福大学举办了一个非常成功的夏季研讨会，作为经济理论家之间广泛研究互动的聚集地。智力和物理环境、扩展的项目形式、经验丰富的员工和大学的支持相结合，使斯坦福大学的项目多年来取得了独特的成功。斯坦福大学的项目为期6-8周，许多游客在整个期间都住在那里，大多数人至少住四周。在此期间，每周约有8-10小时的预定研讨会。时间的平衡为大量研究人员之间的持续互动提供了广泛的机会。这种形式已被证明对年轻的研究人员特别有价值，他们发现夏季研讨会是发展他们的想法和开始合作的肥沃环境。应该重新支持这一系列成功的讲习班和研讨会，因为它们可能对经济理论作出贡献。1990年，斯坦福大学的暑期课程集中在三个主题上：宏观经济学的新凯恩斯主义方法、收益递增的经济学和组织经济学。每个主题都将以研讨会开始，并围绕主题组织一系列论文报告。其中一些题目可能会继续到1991年和1992年的夏季，同时还有动态经济系统和次优理论的题目。

For the past two decades, Stanford has conducted a highly successful summer workshop that has served as a gathering place for extended research interactions among economic theorists. The intellectual and physical environment, extended program format, experienced staff, and support from the University have combined to make the Stanford program uniquely successful over many years. Stanford's program extends over 6-8 weeks with many visitors in residence for the whole period and most in residence for at least four weeks. During this period, there are about 8-10 hours per week of scheduled seminars. The balance of the time provides extensive opportunities for sustained interaction among a large number of researchers. This format has proved to be especially valuable for younger researchers, who have found the summer workshop a fertile environment for developing their ideas and beginning collaborations. Support for this successful series of workshops and seminars should be renewed because of its likely contributions to economic theory. For 1990 Stanford's summer program centers on three themes: New Keynesian Approaches to Macroeconoimcs, Economics with Increasing Returns, and the Economics of Organizations. Each topic will begin with a workshop and continue with a series of paper presentations organized around the main theme. Some of these topics are likely to be continued into the summers of 1991 and 1992, along with the topics of Dynamical Economic Systems and the Theory of the Second Best.
