NBER Summer Institute 1995-1997, Cambridge,MA; 1995, 1996 and 1997

NBER夏季研究所汇集了来自大学，政府和国际组织的经济学家，为期几天或几周的研讨会，讲习班，会议和合作研究。1994年的暑期研究所包括来自171所大学和非学术机构的677名经济学家，其中58%不隶属于NBER。预计今年夏天将有来自多家机构的类似数量的经济学家出席。他们特别努力将年轻的经济学家和不隶属于NBER的经济学家纳入其中。暑期学院为经济学家提供了一个独特的机会，可以与其他人密切合作，进行长期而激烈的研究。暑期学院持续的时间足够长，可以让来自不同机构的经济学家进行认真的合作。当研究接近完成时，重点放在项目的“工作坊”方面，在那里提出新的想法，发展初步的研究想法，并制定联合或协调研究的计划。暑期学院分为12个项目或研究领域，包括：经济波动、经济史、货币经济学、公司金融、资产定价、产业组织、健康与老龄化、国际研究、劳动研究、生产率和税收。每个项目都有自己的参与者组和自己的组结构。尽管各项目之间有很大的差异，但一个典型的项目将持续一到三周，白天允许有时间进行研究。课程可以包括各种主题，也可以围绕特定主题组织。

Martin Feldstein SBR-9511383 The NBER Summer Institute brings together economists from universities, government, and international organizations for a few days or weeks of seminars, workshops, conferences and collaborative research. The 1994 Summer Institute included 677 economists from 171 universities and nonacademic institutions, of whom 58% were not affiliated with the NBER. A similar number of economists from a large number of institutions is expected to attend this summer. Special efforts were made to include younger economists and economists not affiliated with the NBER. The Summer Institute provides a unique opportunity for economists to work closely with others for extended and intense periods of research. The Summer Institute lasts long enough to allow serious collaboration among economists from different institutions. While research nearing completion is presented, emphasis is placed on "workshop" aspects of the program, where new ideas are raised, preliminary research ideas are developed, and plans for joint or coordinated research are established. The Summer Institute is organized into twelve programs or areas of study, including: economic fluctuations, economic history, monetary economics, corporate finance, asset pricing, industrial organization, health and aging, international studies, labor studies, productivity and taxation. Each program has its own group of participants and its own group structure. Although there is considerable variations among the programs, a typical program will last from one to three weeks, with time allowed during the day for research. Programs may include a variety of subjects or they may be organized around specific topics.
