The REStud North America Tour recognizes the most promising doctoral students in economics and finance graduating from European universities, and introduces them and their research to academic communities in North America. Each year, 5-6 students are selected by a designated committee in line with the REStud’s tradition of encouraging the work of young economists. The tour consists of 3 conference-style meetings at economics departments or research centers across North America, and draw audiences from local universities, government institutions, think tanks, and the journal’s editorial board.
The REStud North America Tour has been held annually in October since 2021. It is the counterpart to the REStud Europe Tour, which introduces top students graduating from North American universities (since 2021) and previously from both North American and European universities (1989-2020) to European audiences.
