The Institute awards a dozen or more Summer Fellowships each year to students who will be entering a doctoral program in economics or affiliated program (e.g., law and economics, economic history, etc.). Students choose between two four-week sessions. Summer Fellows participate in intensive seminars in the Methodology of Economics, Monetary Economics, Business-Cycle analysis and forecasting, property rights, and other topics. The seminar format varies according to the the instructor. However, readings in all seminars are substantial, and written work is required. Seminar assignments generally occupy the full attention of first-year Fellows. Guest lectures given by Visiting Senior Fellows complement the scheduled seminars.

The purpose of the award is to give a dedicated, gifted student heading for a career in economics an intense, varied exposure to the realities and problems of applying economic analysis to current and developing economic trends. The fellow will spend two years gaining valuable, practical experience at the Levy Institute Forecasting Center.
The Levy Institute Forecasting Fellowship will provide individuals with an extraordinary opportunity to learn more about a great variety of economic activities, to develop insight s into business behavior, and to acquire a healthy skepticism of data. The experience will be quite different from but highly complementary to their formal training. The fellow will receive an annual stipend of $33,000.
