Economics Department Seminars

The seminars have several purposes: they provide a forum for discussing work in progress, a place to learn about recent research, and an opportunity to interact with researchers from inside the economics department and beyond.

All seminars will run from 1:05 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. and, unless otherwise indicated, will take place in the large conference room on the sixth floor of One Bowdoin Square.
