Yale Program on Financial Stability Resource Library
The Yale Program on Financial Stability (YPFS) is a small, high-performing research team within the Yale School of Management that is investigating financial crises like the one that occurred during 2007–09. During this project, you will work closely with YPFS research associates to support them in producing evaluations of crisis interventions and support the assistant and managing editors of the Journal of Financial Crises to produce the journal. You will review crisis-related documents such as internal company documents, press releases, testimony of government officials, implementation documents, and government reports, and deliver them into the YPFS Resource Library, a digital, web-based archive. This project will be of particular interest to students who are interested in government service, the financial industry, or a possible career in academia or publishing.
Internship hours are flexible and can vary according to student schedules with a preference for in-person time on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
