The Hoover Institution will host another "Policy Boot Camp" August 16-22. See here for details and how to apply. It's a one-week survey of serious policy analysis.
The program includes economists such as John Taylor, Ed Lazear, Amit Seru, Caroline Hoxby, Erik Hurst, and yours truly. Learn about international affairs from H.R. McMaster, Jim Mattis and Condoleezza Rice. Niall Ferguson on Nationalism vs. Globalism and Bjorn Lomborg on climate should be worth it all on their own. And many more.
It's designed for "college students and recent graduates," but I think that is a bit elastic. Food and lodging free.
Update: in response to a commenter. Yes, PhD students and even those a year or two out are welcome.
If food and lodging are free to the policy bootcamp, I will attend if you also buy my airline ticket.
ReplyDeleteOT but an interesting discussion about narrow Banking and disintermediation

Also, this article raises uncomfortable questions about the creation of money perhaps better done through money financed fiscal programs.
Does it make sense to apply as a PhD student? I don't want to waste $100 to be said I'm too old for this.
