Fed Challenge
The College Fed Challenge is a mock FOMC competition. Teams of undergraduate economics students present a short analysis of the actual U.S. economy, a short-term forecast, and a monetary policy recommendation to a panel of Federal Reserve judges. Afterwards, the teams must defend their recommendations and demonstrate in-depth knowledge of economics in a question and answer session.
Students must be able to present a concise, thoughtful analysis while being able to discuss larger practical and theoretical issues. The winning team at the district competition in Chicago advanced to the national competition in Washington, DC. where it will compete for a share of a $47,500 prize donated by Moody's Investor services
