Since the Fall of 2023, I have led (alongside Kaelyn Zhang) the development of the Applied Microeconomics Reading Group in the UF Economics Department. The group meets Tuesdays in the Economics Conference Room (MAT224b) at 4:00pm.
While labeled a "Reading Group" due to its origins as a more traditional one, the group regularly meets as an internal seminar in which graduate students, and sometimes faculty, present new and ongoing work. The setting provides a unique opportunity for early researchers to present and receive feedback on their research, while also exposing beginning students to doctoral-level research.
Any UF student interested in presenting can reach out to me for a future slot.
