Conversations with Economists

Informal discussions about economic issues held at various times throughout the year.

Distinguished Visitors Program

The main purpose of the visitor program is to give the PhD students an opportunity to attend mini-courses and seminars taught by distinguished economists in different fields, and meet with them personally to discuss their own research. They will visit the department for between one and two weeks, during which they will teach a mini-course consisting of two to four lectures in a topic of their expertise, give one regular seminar, and hold office hours to meet with PhD students individually.
