Economic Theory Workshop
The Department of Economics in the IU School of Liberal Arts in Indianapolis hosts the Economic Theory Workshop on certain Fridays from 1.30 to 2.30 p.m. The workshop is intended for faculty and graduate students and focuses on topics that have broad appeal to economists. While the workshop is in economic theory, the discussions will not be purely theoretical. Empirically based papers that have substantial connection to interesting ideas in economics are also welcome. The format of the workshop is a seminar presentation by a speaker. Presentations can be finished research papers, works in progress, or a paper that some of us are interested in reading and discussing. Anyone interested in participating should contact the coordinator, Subir Chakrabarti.
