Upcoming Conference
Directions
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.
Select CORE Weeks throughout the year feature specialty conferences, lectures, and events focused on gathering top economic scholars to share research on a common topic or theme.
