Faculty Award for Women Scientists and Engineers

该奖项为克里斯蒂娜·罗默博士提供支持，由国家科学基金会的女科学家和工程师教师奖项目资助。该计划的目标是表彰全国最杰出和最有前途的女科学家和工程师在学术生涯中的研究和教学，留住她们在学术界，并促进她们的职业生涯的进一步发展。该奖项将允许研究者继续她的研究兴趣，重点是第二次世界大战前商业周期的性质和原因，希望更多地了解现代经济如何运作，以及如何预防或减轻未来的商业周期。将进行三个项目。第一部分将分析大萧条时期宏观经济政策稳定实际产出的作用。第二个问题将涉及检查战后时期的货币和财政政策是否总体上倾向于抵消或加剧实际产出的变动。第三个项目将扩展PI之前关于历史宏观经济数据的工作。她之前的工作表明，由于传统的序列存在严重缺陷，寻找新的、更好的战前数据来源是很重要的。

This award provides support to Dr. Christina Romer under the National Science Foundation's Faculty Awards for Women Scientists and Engineers Program. The objectives of this program are to recognize the nation's most outstanding and promising women scientists and engineers in academic careers in research and teaching, to retain them in academia, and to facilitate the further development of their careers. This award will allow the investigator to pursue her research interests which focuses on the nature and causes of business cycles in the period before World War II, in the hopes of learning more about how the modern economy operates and about what can be done to prevent or mitigate business cycles in the future. Three projects will be undertaken. The first will analyze the role of macroeconomic policy stabilization of real output during the Great Depression. The second will involve examining whether monetary and fiscal policies in the post war era have tended to in general to counteract or exacerbate movements in real output. The third project will extend the PI's previous work on historical macroeconomic data. Her previous work has shown that since the conventional series is seriously flawed, it is important to look for new and better sources of prewar data.
