The conference featured presentations on a wide range of economic topics, including labor markets, monetary policy, and international trade.

Elon students presented research on topics such as the effects of minimum wage increases on employment, the impact of trade on income inequality, and the relationship between economic growth and income distribution.

The students worked on their research projects as part of Elon’s Undergraduate Research Program, which allows students to work closely with faculty mentors to conduct independent research in their fields of interest.

The conference offered the students a valuable opportunity to share their research with a wider audience and to learn from other scholars in their field. The students said they were grateful for the chance to participate in such a prestigious event and to represent Elon at the national level.
