On Oct. 2, students in Professor of Economics Ann Owen's monetary policy class visited New York City to attend a seminar presented by New York Federal Reserve economists. The students attended sessions on the current economic situation, the labor market and the financial crisis. The seminar served as an orientation to a national competition, the Fed Challenge, sponsored by the Federal Reserve and the Eastern Economic Association.

Professor of Economics Ann Owen was quoted in a July 9 article about possible effects of the federal government's infusion of cash into the economy. In “Worried About Inflation?,” an article that will appear in the August issue of Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine, Owen responded to questions about declining wealth - the result of falling home prices and the stock-market crash.

Associate Professor of Economics Ann Owen discussed key competencies that candidates for future Federal Reserve positions should have in a Reuters article titled "New faces at Fed, ECB will need new skills" published on Monday, June 8.
