This conference will bring together economic theorists from the University of Chicago and Northwestern University. The goal is to foster collaboration between the two theory communities. We are excited to foster this recurring event in which scholars share ideas and talk about research in a casual, creative atmosphere.
This conference is by invitation only. If you have any questions, please reach out to bfi-events@uchicago.edu.
Each presentation will consist of 45 minutes for the presenter, followed by 10 minutes for discussant remarks.
