The Capitol Economics Review and the Undergraduate Economics Society are excited to present the Capitol Economics Journal Launch Party!

This party will celebrate the efforts of all the authors and editorial staff who were involved in preparing this year’s edition of the CEJ. The event will feature opening remarks from IIEP Director Jay Shambaugh and Editor-in-Chief of the Capitol Economics Review Elijah Karshner. Following the opening remarks, the event will move into a poster session, with the opportunity to speak directly with the authors about their articles! This event is a great opportunity to talk economics with other members of the GW Economics community, and to learn more about the economics research going on at the undergraduate level.

Pre-purchased physical copies of CEJ will be distributed at the event. To reserve your copy, please fill out the form here: https://forms.gle/7WQKsHiAuscDNgp1A
