Fall 2023 Institute Research Conference
October 5–6, 2023 | Minneapolis
The Opportunity & Inclusive Growth Institute will hold its third annual Fall Research Conference in Minneapolis on October 5 and 6, 2023. This event will showcase the range of frontier-style research that the Institute engages with and supports. A broad scholarly exchange of ideas around presented papers will be encouraged. The event will also include an invited keynote speaker.
We invite submissions on questions related to the Institute mission of supporting the Federal Reserve’s dual mandate through research into how to enhance economic opportunity and achieve inclusive growth. We invite submissions that inform this mission from both inside and outside of economics and from a range of methodological approaches.
The second day of the conference will focus on paper development, and submissions will be limited to researchers who are within 10 years of completing their Ph.D. We encourage submission of papers in draft form that will benefit from workshopping and participant feedback.
The program of last year’s conference can be found here.
