CEMFI SUMMER SCHOOL IN ECONOMICS AND FINANCE, Madrid
The Centro de Estudios Monetarios y Financieros (CEMFI) is a non-profit foundation created by the Banco de España. It is devoted to training and research in economics. CEMFI carries out two main activities: graduate education, in the Master's Programme in Economics and Finance and the Summer School in Economics and Finance, and research.
THE SUMMER SCHOOL IN ECONOMICS AND FINANCE aims at providing established practitioners and academics from all over the world with an opportunity to update their training in fields within CEMFI's range of expertise. The courses are also open to graduate students who intend to specialize in such fields.
a.. Teaching standards in the Summer School courses are set at the same level of excellence as in the regular courses of CEMFI's Master’s Programme. Each course gives a complete and rigorous coverage of its contents. Because of the intensive nature of the courses and the substantive material covered, participants are advised to work full-time on their courses during the corresponding week. In this respect, we do not recommend attendees to participate in more than one course per week.
a.. Each course lasts for five days (Monday to Friday). In this edition, the courses will spread over three weeks, from 28 August to 15 September 2006. Lectures are organized in daily four-hour slots, with a half-hour break in the middle. Courses will be offered if a minimum of 10 people enroll in them. The number of participants per course will not exceed 30. At the end of each course, participants will receive a diploma.
a.. For this edition, we have six courses taught in English. The presentation of theoretical material will be complemented with a discussion of applications, exercises, and problems. In addition, the faculty will set office hours for participants interested in asking questions related to the material taught in class. In the evening of the third day of each course, the School will organize (at no additional charge) a course dinner in order to provide participants and teachers with an occasion to interact in a relaxed atmosphere.
b.. Accommodation in Madrid is arranged by each participant. The section on Application and fees in these pages contains information about travel agencies and university halls of residence which might be useful.
