The Economics Department seminar series provides an opportunity for presentations of current research in economics and related disciplines. Speakers include our own faculty as well as guests from other Universities. Past Seminars have have focused on research in a variety of fields including labor economics, public policy, urban economics, health, development, economic history, and education.
A more casual Applied Econometrics Workshop has been convened on an irregular basis to explore topics of mutual interest (with particular emphasis on data issues and econometric techniques) and to provide early feedback on work-in-progress.
