BROWN BAG WORKSHOP

The University of Tennessee Economics Brown Bag Research Workshop meets weekly throughout the year.  The workshop provides an informal forum for such things as:

· presentations/discussions of works in progress by faculty or graduate students,

· workshops about new software packages or econometric techniques, or

· group discussions of other economists' research, such as new NBER working papers.

 

During the 2009 Fall semester, the workshop will meet on Wednesdays in SMC 701 (unless otherwise noted). The room will open at 11:30 a.m.  Workshops will begin promptly at 12:00 noon and end no later than 1:00 p.m. Participants are invited to bring their own lunch.

 

Contact Scott Gilpatric (sgilpatr@utk.edu) if you are interested in presenting on one of the open dates, or if you would like to propose a workshop on a special topic.
