UConn’s Fed Challenge Team is a highly motivated group of UConn students interested in macroeconomics, monetary policy, and a future career in economic research or policymaking. Each Fall, university teams across the country compete against each other in a “case challenge” like manner. Throughout the Spring and Fall, Fed Challenge members attend student-run weekly meetings to discuss and analyze economic and financial conditions to formulate a monetary policy recommendation. In November, the team presents the recommendation at a competition sponsored by the Federal Reserve. At this competition, students will be given a chance to present to Federal Reserve economists and network with other top teams. Finally, there is an opportunity to visit the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, D.C for a concluding conference.
