16th Annual Economics Scholars Program Conference for Undergraduate Research

Since 2007, students scholars and faculty from institutions across the U.S. and Canada have come together to share undergraduate student-initiated or student–faculty co-authored works, ideas about the role of undergraduate research in the curriculum, and the challenges and concerns of undergraduates who conduct research.
The conference comprised a day of interactive student presentations, with attendees having opportunities to ask student authors questions about their research, and a keynote address by Julia Coronado, president and founder of Macro Policy Perspectives.
