Conference Recap
CORE Week, featuring the Marvin S. Goodfriend Conference
The Collaboration of Research Economists (CORE) model combines frontier research and an innovative delivery method to advance collaboration within the economics profession.
The CORE model consists of eight CORE Weeks per year. During each week, visiting economists from a range of disciplines will join with Richmond Fed economists for seminars, conferences, and formal and informal networking and collaboration—all with an eye toward advancing economic research.
Economists from across the nation and Europe joined the Richmond Fed’s Research department for the fourth installment of CORE Week in May. Topics such as the dual labor market, corporate credit risk and bank reserve remuneration were explored, and presenters included Richmond Fed economists as well as economists from Duke University, UCLA, NYU, the European Central Bank and other renowned institutions.
The week culminated with the Marvin S. Goodfriend Conference, in recognition of former Richmond Fed Research Director Marvin Goodfriend.
During the conference, memories of Marvin Goodfriend were shared and visiting economists engaged attendees through seminars focused on the topics Goodfriend worked on, such as monetary policy and central banking.
