Conferences
I organize the annual Research Conference for the Opportunity and Inclusive Growth Institute (OIGI) at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. The conference brings together former OIGI scholars and researchers within the Federal Reserve System to present and discuss their research on issues related to inequality and inclusive growth. Past keynote participants have included Federal Reserve Governor Philip Jefferson, Karen Dynan, Esteban Rossi-Hansberg, and Jed Kolko. The conference is attended by over 100 participants annually and broadcasted live to over 1,000 viewers.
I also organize an Early Career Workshop the day following the conference where leading leading scholars convene to provide critical feedback on recent PhD's research at an early stage in the project.
Check out the programs and streams for the 2021 , 2022, and 2023 conferences.
