CORE Week, featuring the Secular Trends in Macroeconomics and Firm Dynamics 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.

Video is temporarily unavailable.

December CORE Week included 13 visiting economists, and featured the Secular Trends in Macroeconomics and Firm Dynamics Conference.  During the Conference, researchers explored the topics of population growth and firm behavior, U.S. business dynamism, artificial intelligence, and pricing strategies.  Some of the questions addressed during the Conference included:  How does declining population growth affect firm dynamics? Is income growth volatility decreasing in the U.S.? How do changes in housing prices affect young businesses? Have investments in artificial intelligence improved productivity?
