*****************************************************************
Announce the sixth year of the Program in Economic Policy Manage-
ment (PEPM) for graduate training in the theory and practice of
economic policy making. This program is designed to provide mid-
career policy makers of demonstrated achievement and superior
promise with the skills required to design and implement economic
policy effectively, with a strong emphasis on policy issues faced
by developing and formerly socialist economies. The Program is
relatively brief, to accommodate the demands of promising mid-
career policy makers, and it culminates in a Master's degree in
International Affairs from Columbia University.
The academic component of the Program is a cooperative endeavor
of Columbia University's School of International and Public Af-
fairs, Graduate School of Business, and Department of Economics,
under the academic leadership of the Department of Economics. The
World Bank will support the Program by providing full financial
support for 24 students, by providing guest lecturers in courses
offered by the Program, and by providing student internships.
The 1997-1998 Program year begins in June of 1997. Applications
for admission to the Program should be received by January 1,
1997. Potential applicants to the Program should arrange to take
the GRE and, if appropriate, the TOEFL exam as soon as possible.
