Grad students attend NSF science meeting

Harvard University graduate students Satoru Takahashi and Gernot Wagner were recently selected by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as two of 50 outstanding research participants to attend the second Lindau Meeting in Economic Sciences. The meeting, held in Lindau, Germany, Aug. 16-19, welcomed winners of the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel.

Adding to the tradition of the annual Lindau Meeting of Nobel Laureates in natural sciences, which began in 1951, the main objective of the Lindau Meeting in Economic Sciences is to provide an opportunity for personal interaction among leading economists and young researchers from around the world.
