<p>I was wondering if there were any Fed Challengers on CC, especially since it is big out east in New York. Is this is a major thing at your school? For those that don't know, Fed Challenge is an team(5-6 people) academic competition sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank that is centered around the issues of monetary policymaking. Each competition involves a presentation and policy recommendation, then a question-and-answer session with the judges, who are businesspeople, Fed economists, and at nationals, actual policymakers (Greenspan speaks every year, and I've been judged by new kid on the block Ben Bernanke). For more info: <a href="http://www.bos.frb.org/education/fedchallenge/%5B/url%5D">http://www.bos.frb.org/education/fedchallenge/</a> It's my top EC, and if any of your prospective econ majors are interested, you should think about forming a team soon.</p>
<p>YEAAAH!.. fed challenge member right here

<p>What school do you go to? Should I look out for you at nats?</p>
<p>I prefer not to disclose the name of my school, but hopefully we will go far with this team.</p>
<p>Good luck to you!</p>
