Murphy-Economics Seminar: Tatiana Homonoff (NYU Wagner)

The Murphy Institute Seminar Series in Economics

Each semester The Murphy Institute sponsors a series of seminars organized by the Tulane Department of Economics that provides an opportunity for faculty, researchers, and practitioners to present their latest research and pressing issues related to topics in political economy. Research presented covers all aspects of contemporary economics, including the economics of education, health economics, and public economics, as well as in economic history, international economics, and core areas in political economy.  Papers are distributed one week beforehand to the participants who read the paper and prepare discussion questions for the presenter.
