Fall 2009 - Econometric Poster Presentations

Students who are currently taking Econometrics (Economics 318) will be available in the Social Science Center - on the second floor of Williams - to discuss their projects on Tuesday, December 15 from 10 to 12 noon. This is not a series of student presentations. Rather, each of the seven groups of students has prepared a poster which summarizes their model and the results of their project. We would like to invite you to attend.
