Since 2021, the Collaboration of Research Economists (CORE) model has combined frontier research and an innovative delivery method to advance collaboration within the economics profession. Economists from a range of disciplines will join with Richmond Fed economists eight times per year for CORE Week seminars, collaboration, and formal and informal networking—all with an eye toward advancing economic research.
Select CORE Weeks throughout the year feature specialty conferences, lectures, and events focused on gathering top economic scholars to share research on a common topic or theme. These include:
The research department of the FRB of Richmond invites submissions for the conference.
The deadline for submissions for the conference is July 1, 2023.
Researchers covered topics including digital advertising, R&D allocation, production networks, and knowledge creation and diffusion.
The Richmond Fed hosted CORE Week and also launched the Goodfriend Memorial Lecture in early May.
The Richmond Fed will introduce a Goodfriend Memorial Lecture in honor of Marvin Goodfriend, former research director and senior policy advisor, as part of its CORE Week initiative.
