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 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.
CORE Week and Honoring Marvin Goodfriend
The Marvin S. Goodfriend Conference takes place during select CORE Weeks to honor the life, work and legacy of former Research Director Marvin Goodfriend, who worked at the Richmond Fed from 1978 until his retirement in 2005.
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.
