This conference will bring together economic theorists from Northwestern University and University of Chicago. The goal is to foster collaboration between the two theory communities. We hope to make this a recurring event in which scholars share ideas and talk about research in a casual, creative atmosphere.

This is a private conference. If you would like to attend, please email bfi-events@uchicago.edu.
