Warwick Economics students present research at prestigious Carroll Round conference

Four undergraduate students from the Department of Economics presented research papers at the prestigious Carroll Round conference in April 2023.

The Carroll Round is an annual international economics conference at Georgetown University for the world’s top undergraduates to present their research and exchange ideas. They are joined by prominent members of the academic and policy-making communities in a forum that facilitates informed and productive discussion on global economic issues.

The students had the opportunity to showcase original research undertaken as part of the final year of their degree course at Warwick. They presented their findings in discussion panels moderated by economics professors and practitioners.

This year’s keynote lectures were given by Dr Lisa Cook, member of the Board of Governors of the US Federal Reserve System, and Dr Signe-Mary McKernan, vice president of the Urban Institute’s Center on Labor, Human Services and Population.
