The Review of Economic Studies (one of the top five economics journals in the world) annually holds The REStud North American Tour. This tour recognizes the most promising graduating doctoral students in economics and finance from European universities, and introduces them and their research to audiences 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 and think tanks. The REStud NA Tour has been held annually in October since 2021, and is the counterpart to the REStud European Tour which introduces top graduating students from North American universities to European audiences.
