ECO 355 - The FED Challenge

The purpose of this course is to undertake an intensive study of the US macro economy, the Federal Reserve System and the implementation of appropriate monetary policy. The course requires students not only to learn about the inter-workings of monetary policy, but also to work in a team environment, conduct independent research, and develop their presentation and communication skills. The course culminates in a competition at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York where students from various colleges present their policy prescriptions to senior FED officials and business executives.
