The Bureau
will reimburse actual costs of domestic travel (rail and air) for your 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 actual cost of their
ticket. If traveling from overseas, please
use a U.S. carrier due to funding agency restrictions
PLEASE
NOTE THAT THE NBER WILL ONLY REIMBURSE UP TO THE TRAVEL ALLOWANCE STATED IN
YOUR CONFIRMATION.

at airports will be covered up to $60. Current mileage is 55.5 cents per mile.
One night's reasonable lodging (based on the going rate in the area) will be

lodging does not exceed the discount airfare.
