The Price Theory Summer Camp, led by UChicago economist Kevin Murphy, was created to introduce PhD students from outside the University of Chicago to price theory, which emphasizes the application of basic economic tools to problems. During this intensive one-week program, students hear lectures from UChicago and visiting faculty and experience a series of “Chicago-style” seminars where faculty present their research in progress. Participants also work on problem sets in workshops and have opportunities to discuss their own work with some of the world’s leading economists.
The program is geared toward PhD students in Economics who have completed their third or fourth year of study, but applications are accepted from doctoral candidates of all levels. Funding is provided to all accepted applicants to cover travel, accommodations, and meals.
