NBER: Do you have any graduate students you would like to bring to SI?

Dear IFM Program Members:
This summer, the NBER is trying an experiment at the Summer
Institute.
Each program will be able to nominate ten graduate students from outside
the
Cambridge area for invitation to the Summer Institute. The NBER will not
be
able to cover the travel or hotel costs for student invitees, so you should
only nominate a student if he or she has funding for these expenses. NBER
will
provide the usual light breakfast, as well as lunch and any group dinners,
for student participants. Perhaps you can cover the travel cost for a
student participant from your own research funds, or you might explore
whether your home department has any such funds for graduate students.
If you have a student who you think would benefit from exposure to
the
professional interaction and research presentations at the Summer
Institute,
please send me his or her name and a very brief (two or three sentence)
description of the student's dissertation work. I will then collect the
nominations and forward them to Carl Beck at the NBER Conference
Department. Please
send me any nominations in the next two weeks -- by March 16th -- if
possible. Thanks.
Jeff Frankel
IFM Program Director
