Economics Graduate Research Day
The Economics Graduate Research Day is an annual event in the Department of Economics which provides an opportunity for graduate students to showcase their research. MA and PhD students in Economics were invited to participate by presenting a completed or ongoing research project, whether it is the MA research paper or thesis, research expanded from a course assignment, one or more chapters of the doctoral dissertation, or any other research project pertaining to Economics. The Department of Economics thanks the Economics Graduate Students Association (EGSA) for its support.
