Dear DAE Family,
We would like to follow up on Jim Poterba's e-mail below. As in years
past, we will have a poster session for graduate students in order to
allow them to share their work rather than simply attend. If you have a
PhD student whose work is sufficiently advanced and who would benefit
from presenting a poster, please make sure to submit their name, email
address, and a brief paragraph describing their research as well as how
close they are to completing their degree to
http://nber.org/nominate/backend/form?id=N_G18 by April 27th. Only those
graduate students accepted for the poster session will be allowed to
attend the SI.
Sincerely,
Walker, Matt, and Petra
Dear NBER Researchers -
The NBER will welcome outstanding graduate students and new Ph.D.s to
the 2018 Summer Institute on a space-available basis. If you have a
student who you would like to nominate, please visit our nominations
webpage
http://nber.org/nominate/backend/form?id=N_G18
and enter the student's contact information, a one-paragraph nomination
statement describing the student's research and Ph.D. completion
timetable, and the Summer Institute program for which you would like to
nominate the student. A list of Summer Institute meetings is posted
here:
http://conference.nber.org/confer/2018/SI2018/SI2018.html
Please make sure that you receive a confirmation email after you
complete your nomination, and please do not send nominations directly to
program directors. If you have difficulties with this system, please
email Rob Shannon at rshannon_at_nber.org.
The closing date for nominations is Friday, April 27. Program directors
will review the nominations shortly thereafter, and students who are
selected to participate will receive invitations from the NBER
conference department in May. I regret that the NBER will not be able
to cover students' travel and lodging expenses.
Many Summer Institute meetings are approaching the capacity of their
meeting rooms at the Royal Sonesta Hotel, and the overall Summer
Institute growth rate of recent years is not sustainable. I know that
we will not be able to accept all of the students who are nominated, but
we will strive to be as inclusive as possible. Priority will be given to
students who were on the job market this year, or will be on the market
next year.
I appreciate your understanding of the constraints. Please do not
extend additional "informal" invitations beyond those that are managed
by the NBER Conference Department. I especially ask my Boston-based
colleagues to refrain from suggesting that students attend the meetings
without invitations.
Thank you for your help in making the Summer Institute an exciting and
vibrant gathering. I look forward to seeing you in July.
Jim Poterba
