Research economists in the division are currently conducting research in a wide variety of areas (see the overview page). Many of the division staff present their research at academic conferences, such as the Allied Social Sciences Association meetings, the European meetings of the Econometric Society, the North American meetings of the Econometric Society, the General Conference of the Association for Research on Income and Wealth, and the Joint Statistical Meetings (see the publications and working papers page for a list of recent conference papers).
