UH Econ BB Seminar

The UH Econ Student BB Seminar is a weekly Brown Bag meeting held by Economics Ph.D. students at the University of Houston starting Spring 2022. It serves as a forum for students within the department to share their research with their colleagues, with a particular focus on projects in the early stages. We also have students from other departments present their research. The seminar is organized and attended exclusively by PhD students. 

Location and time: Friday 2:30-3:30 PM CT (usual time), Room BL1 or online

Coordinators: Sebin Nidhiri (sbnidhiri@uh.edu), Yujie Zhang (yzhang187@uh.edu)
