AES Summer School 2025

Welcome to the 2025 AES summer school main page. Each year, the AES sponsors a summer school open to students and faculty. The summer school is intended to develop intellectual curiosity in topics of current interests as well as offer introductions to methods and questions.  A flyer can be downloaded here.

This year, the summer school will be hosted by Baruch College on Aug. 6th and 7th , 2025. Please find this page a registration link and tentative schedule:

Registration Link
If you are attending the annual Congress, you must register separately for the summer school, as these are separate events. Once you receive a Paypal payment confirmation, you will be registered at the summer school.

Additional documents will be shared directly on this page so please bookmark for future reference.

Logistics and Link

For any question, please email Cathi at admin@accountingtheory.org or any of the organizers.  The sessions will be run in-person at Baruch College on Aug. 6-7th, 2025.  A Dropbox folder will be shared with all participants for additional documents. This year's speakers at the summer school include Jeremy Bertomeu (Washington University), Jon Glover (Columbia), and Ivan Marinovic (Stanford).

Remote Option

For those who cannot travel, we will offer a remote Zoom connection, but this may not be ideal and should be used only as a back-up solution, since the sessions are not designed to be delivered as hybrid courses.  To attend remotely, you will need a password that will be included in the registration packet. The registration is not refundable if you attend online.
