Associate Professor of Economics Ann Owen presented a paper at the Conference on Macroeconomic Research at Liberal Arts Colleges held at Smith College in August. The paper, "Do all countries follow the same growth process?," was co-authored with Lewis Davis at Union College and Julio Videras at Hamilton. Owen said the paper uses a novel methodology to explore the extent to which growth occurs in the same way in different countries. At the same conference, she also led a discussion session on teaching economic growth to undergraduate students.
Owen is a co-organizer of this conference with economists from Colgate, Smith, Vassar and Drew University. The intent of the conference is to encourage collaboration and to support research by macroeconomists at liberal arts colleges. The conference is supported by a grant from the NSF for which Owen is the principal investigator. It will be held at Hamilton in 2009.
