The Collaboration of Research Economists (CORE) model combines frontier research and an innovative delivery method to advance collaboration within the economics profession.
The CORE model consists of eight CORE Weeks per year. During each week, visiting economists from a range of disciplines will join with Richmond Fed economists for seminars, conferences, and formal and informal networking and collaboration—all with an eye toward advancing economic research.
Learn more about the CORE Week model in this video from Richmond Fed Research Director Kartik Athreya.
The inaugural CORE week in November featured leading economists whose generous sharing of expertise provided an opportunity for the Bank’s researchers and invited guests to learn about and collaborate on some of the latest findings in economics. The agenda from the week is outlined below. Hear more about what our visiting economists had to say about their CORE Week experience:
In addition to a series of seminars, the week included the Fall Research Workshop, a joint workshop between the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, the University of Virginia and Duke University. Learn more about the Fall Research Workshop in this Economic Brief.
