Announcement & Call for Papers
You are invited to share your research and to learn about the work being done by other macroeconomists at liberal arts colleges. The primary goals of this workshop are:
1) to create an open forum that allows macroeconomists at liberal arts colleges to expose their work to a group of their peers and gain valuable feedback; and,
2) to build a network of colleagues with whom to share ideas and collaborate on research projects.
This workshop is being supported by funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
We invite faculty to submit paper proposals in the fields of:
- Macroeconomics
- Monetary economics
