University Research Conference, Cambridge, MA Spring and Fall of 1992

这个奖项是为了感谢对大学研究会议半年度会议的持续支持。这次会议的目的是将来自美国各地的经济学家聚集在一起，就当前感兴趣的特定主题进行为期两天的讨论。会议主题的选择与当前经济政策讨论的相关性以及他们对学术经济学家的兴趣。最近的会议聚焦于货币政策、贸易政策、政府支出计划、资产定价、汇率制度、财政政策和环境经济学。定于今年春季举行的下一次会议将聚焦于国际劳动力市场的比较。来自70多个经济系和50所商学院的论文将被征集。会议组织者谨慎地选择既有知名研究人员，也有不太知名的研究人员。讨论者和其他参与者的选择也是为了鼓励不同大学有着相似兴趣的经济学家之间的互动。一次典型的会议包括7到10篇论文和来自40所不同大学的约80名与会者。

This award is for the continued support for the semi-annual meetings of the Universities Research Conference. The purpose of this conference is to bring together economists from across the U.S. for two days of discussion on a specific topic of current interest. Conference topics are chosen for their relevance to current economic policy discussions as well as their interest to academic economists. Recent conferences have focused on monetary policy, trade policy, government spending programs, asset pricing, exchange rate regimes, fiscal policy, and the economics of the environment. The next conference scheduled for this spring will focus on the international comparisons of labor markets. Papers for presentation are solicited from over 70 economics departments and 50 business schools. Conference organizers are careful to select a mix of established and less well known researchers. Discussants and other participants are also chosen to encourage interaction among economists with similar interests at different universities. A typical conference includes 7 to 10 papers and about 80 participants from 40 different universities.
