Rochester Center on the Global Economy

The RCGE is a center to support research and activity on the Global Economy at the UR. It is housed in the Economics department and was funded through a seed grant from the Dean's office in 2023. It provides research opportunities to students and brings scholars to campus for research conferences, extended visits, and undergraduate lectures.  

The co-directors are George Alessandria and Yan Bai. Please reach out to us if you would like to discuss the center's activities. Email Us
