TRAVEL

The Summer Institute will finance some or all of the travel costs for ONE ROUND TRIP ONLY for out-of-town participants based on the following regulations:

The Bureau will reimburse actual costs of domestic travel (rail 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 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 54.5 cents per mile. One nights’ reasonable lodging (based on the going rate in the area) will be reimbursed for trips 600 miles or longer, provided the total for mileage and lodging does not exceed the discount airfare.

**** The NBER now requires requests for reimbursements to be submitted within 90 days of the meeting ****
