Lunchbox Seminar Tomorrow

From Prof. Conning:
Monday October 17th 11:30-1pm
Jonathan Morduch, NYU (with Rajeev Dehejia and Heather Montgomery) Do Interest Rates Matter? Credit Demand In The Dhaka Slums

New seminar dates have also been announced at: http://urban.hunter.cuny.edu/RePEc/seminar/

The Morduch paper is a nice example of a 'differences in differences' approach to estimating a policy change impact. MA students taking 721 or 722, or thinking about thesis projects with a micro-data topic might find it an interesting case study to learn from.
Hunter College Society for Economics Meeting

There is a Society for Economics meeting scheduled for October 27 in the Conference Room on the 15th Floor at 2 PM. An agenda for the meeting will be posted the day prior. Members are welcome to remain after the meeting for a study group.
