The papers are presented by students and faculty at Chicago and by visiting scholars. Papers are available before each session. Papers are presented by graduate students who are working on research problems related to money and banking, by University of Chicago faculty and by visitors from outside of Chicago. The common theme of the workshop is agriculture, defined very broadly to include a wide range of applications of economics to problems relevant to farming and farm people and to interrelationships between agriculture and the rest of the economy including international as well as national relationships. The workshop is designed primarily to assist students in their research and emphasizes presentations by students though there are occasional presentations by faculty and outside scholars.
All interested students are welcome to participate.
