Useful information for application

• Membership of Econometric Society. Because the summer school is an official program of Econometric Society, you must be a member at the time of the application. This rule is enforced without an exception. To join the Society, check the home page of the Econometric Society.      Keep the email address and other membership information handy.

• Reliable contact information. Reliable e-mail addresses of the applicant and the reference are the most important.   It would be convenient for us to verify your membership, if you use the email address registered for the Econometric Society.  

• Paper.

  • • If you do not have or do not want to present a paper, you can skip this part, by clicking "no."  Around one quarter of applicants for the summer school did not have or chose not to present, a paper.

    • If you have a presentable paper, you need some preparation.

      • Decide which paper you want to present.

      • You will be asked to provide the URL link of the paper, instead of uploading a pdf file. 

      • Make it sure that the paper is set public on the web. If the paper is in a pdf file, the file should be free of password protection so that we can download the paper, without prompting you for permission. Otherwise, your paper might not be evaluated in a timely manner.

      • After you provide us a stable link for the paper, you can continue to work on your paper, revising the file from your end, as long as you keep the same URL address for the paper.

• Letter of recommendation. You need someone who can write a letter of recommendation for you. You will be asked to fill out the email address of your reference.

• Submit the application.  After you click "submit," you cannot change your application.   If you realize that you have made serious mistakes, please send an e-mail to the organizer, In-Koo Cho, with the subject line "esSummer: application" along with the description of the problem.

Important tip.

• • When you click "submit," the application site immediately sends out two emails: the confirmation email to the applicant and the request for the recommendation letter to the reference. The request letter contains an active hyperlink to let your reference upload the letter directly to the application database.  A machine generated message with an active hyperlink can be tagged as a SPAM, and filtered out without any trace with a small, but non-negligible, probability.   

  • Be sure to check with your reference to see whether he/she has received the request for the letter from us within 24 hours of submission. If your reference has not received the request for the letter from us, please send an e-mail to the organizer, In-Koo Cho, with the subject line "esSummer: application" along with the description of the problem.
