The mission of Economic Research Initiatives at Duke (ERID) is to establish the Department of Economics at Duke University as a prominent center for cutting-edge economic research. ERID provides our faculty and students a forum for fruitful exchanges of ideas with wider academic communities outside of Duke, both in economics and other related disciplines. ERID gives priority to supporting activities — conferences, a visitors program, and a working papers series — that promote the department's strategic vision.
To request funding for conferences, please refer to the following documents. |
