The 5th Annual Workshop in Macroeconomic Research at Liberal Arts Colleges, funded by the National Science Foundation, will be held at Hamilton July 29-30. The conference's goal is to encourage collaboration among macroeconomists at liberal arts colleges.
The workshop draws researchers from top liberal arts colleges across the country to present and discuss their current work in macroeconomics. A unique feature of this conference is that it also facilitates discussion of the relationship between undergraduate teaching and research, with this year's conference featuring a special session on bringing the financial crisis into the classroom. The conference was initiated by Associate Professor of Economics Ann Owen and colleagues from Colgate University, Drew University, Smith College and Vassar College.
