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.

requests for reimbursements to be submitted within 90 days of the meeting ****
