Past Conference
CORE Week, featuring the Race and Economic Outcomes 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.
November CORE Week featured the Race and Economic Outcomes Conference. During the Conference, researchers explored the topics of monetary policy and racial inequality, affirmative action, reparations, and the causes of Black-White wealth gaps. Some of the questions addressed during the Conference included: How does monetary policy affect racial inequality and minority unemployment? What explains the difference in marriage rates between Black and White Americans? How do racial preferences in college admissions affect who gets in? Do historical discriminatory institutions have effects on current socioeconomic outcomes? Read more about the Conference in the Economic Brief included below.
