The Summer Institute consists of nearly fifty distinct meetings, each focused on a sub-field or broad topic within economics. There will be workshops on each of the following topics:


Asset Pricing Health Care

Submissions for Summer Institute will be welcomed starting in early February. We hope that the Summer Institute can be held in person in Cambridge, MA this year. If the pandemic prevents that, Summer Institute will once again be virtual.

Submissions of both empirical and theoretical research, from scholars who are early in their careers, from researchers with and without NBER affiliations, and from scholars who are members of groups that are under-represented in the economics profession are welcome. Please address any questions Rob Shannon in the NBER Conference Department.
