Our program encourages students to pursue research that analyzes and addresses economic questions that have implications for our understanding of both economies and policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the department, a weekly seminar series provides<\/a> insights into faculty and student interest areas as does the annual Economics Graduate Student Field Poster Session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The university community convenes each spring for the annual Graduate Student Multidisciplinary Conference<\/a>. Recent presentations there range from analysis on conflict and nutrition in Nepal to whether local environmental regulation impacts siting decisions for U.S. manufacturing plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
