Western Economic Association International is launching an initiative to give outstanding undergraduate economists a glimpse into a potential future of graduate studies and a career as an economist. As an Institutional Member of the WEAI beginning January 1, 2024, Columbia Economics Dept. will be eligible to have students participate in the new undergraduate student research program. Outstanding undergraduate economists may be selected to present their research in a special undergraduate research session on the Annual Conference program with prizes awarded for best paper plus three finalists.
The deadline for submission of research proposals is February 1, 2024. Please see the above link for details.
