Regular Seminar Series

The Department of Economics Regular Seminar Series provides a forum for Utah State University economics faculty, graduate students, and visiting scholars to present the results of their latest research in the areas of applied and theoretical economics (all fields). Presentations are usually scheduled on Wednesdays. The seminars are open, but the material is primarily aimed at professional economists and students at the graduate level. Information about presentations will be posted shortly before they are presented.

All seminars are held in Business 320 at 3:30pm.
