NATIONAL BUREAU OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH, INC.
SUMMER INSTITUTE 2019
TRAVEL
The Summer Institute will
finance some of the travel and hotel costs for ONE TRIP ONLY for out-of-town participants
based on the following regulations:
The Bureau will reimburse actual
costs of travel (rail, mileage and air) for one (1) round trip to Boston, up to
$100 per day of participation, up to a maximum of $500. (For example,
participants who stay for three days will only be reimbursed up to $300.)
Travelers from New York, Washington DC and other areas where the round-trip
fare is less than $500, will, of course, only be reimbursed for the actual cost
of their ticket.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE
NBER WILL ONLY REIMBURSE UP TO THE TRAVEL ALLOWANCE STATED IN YOUR
CONFIRMATION.
Ground transportation will be
reimbursed up to $100 with documented receipts. Parking at airports will be
covered up to $60. Current mileage is 58 cents per mile.
**** The NBER requires requests
for reimbursements to be submitted within 90 days of the meeting ****
HOUSING
Housing will be reserved, as
requested, for out-of-town participants. A limited number of rooms have been
reserved at the ROYAL SONESTA HOTEL, 40 Edwin H. Land Blvd., Cambridge (phone
617/806-4200). These will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The
Bureau will cover a maximum of five nights per trip (six nights for West Coast
participants with prior approval from the NBER’s Conference Department). Our
conference rate is $237.00 plus tax per night.
Please note the hotel has a 24 hour cancellation policy.
