STRIPE ECONOMICS OF AI FELLOWSHIP 

Application Deadline: April 15, 2025

LOCATION: USA

The economics of AI remains surprisingly understudied, even as technical progress in artificial intelligence continues rapidly. The Stripe Economics of AI Fellowship aims to help fill that gap by supporting foundational academic research in the area.

Stripe invites graduate students and early-career researchers who are interested in studying the economics of AI to apply, regardless of prior experience. 

ELIGIBILITY:

While they welcome researchers interested in any aspect of the economics of AI, broadly defined, they are particularly interested in supporting high-impact research that:

is focused on the economics of transformative AI

is forward-looking

is expected to be of durable importance, and moves fast.

They expect most of the initial fellows to be grad students or early-career researchers (including postdocs, assistant professors, etc.) in economics.

Researchers from any country are eligible to apply.

Prior experience in AI economics is welcome but not required; exceptional candidates without any background in the field are encouraged to apply, including researchers in departments outside of economics.

Fellows are not required to have a project proposal to apply.

The first call for applications closes on April 15 at 10pm, PT. Decisions will be released on or before April 25.

BENEFIT:

Fellows receive a baseline grant of $10,000. Applicants may request additional funding with justification, for example if funding for a data purchase would accelerate research progress. Graduate students are encouraged to request sufficient funding to buy out a unit of teaching or research assistantship, if they have a specific project idea which a buyout would provide time to work on.

Beyond financial support of at least $10k, the fellowship includes:

Community: A community of like-minded researchers studying the economic implications of AI.

Conference: Funding to attend an exclusive conference in San Francisco (early summer 2025), featuring leading economists and technologists in this space. Fellows will be asked to present a brief project proposal, and invited to participate in follow-up conferences to present and get feedback on preliminary results.
Opportunity for data: The opportunity to gain access to unique datasets through Stripe and its customers.
