Past Conference
CORE Week, featuring the US Government Debt Conference
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 7-8 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.
Honoring Marvin Goodfriend
The Goodfriend Memorial Lecture is one of multiple efforts honoring the life, work and legacy of former Research Director Marvin Goodfriend, who worked at the Richmond Fed from 1978 until his retirement in 2005. Other Richmond Fed tributes include the Marvin S. Goodfriend Conference, which took place during CORE Week in May 2022, as well as Essays in Honor of Marvin Goodfriend: Economist and Central Banker, published in the same year.
Visit the Honoring Marvin Goodfriend page to learn more about Goodfriend through his research and policy papers, essays reflecting on his life and work, and personal reflections from his former colleagues.
