Post by Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics at the University of Chicago

Last week in Washington, D.C., a team of UChicago undergraduates presented at the Federal Reserve Board’s College Fed Challenge. This annual competition requires teams to model the Federal Open Market Committee by analyzing economic and financial conditions and presenting policy recommendations. The 2025 #FedChallenge involved 139 schools, and the UChicago team received Honorable Mention for being one of six to advance to the national finals. Thank you to our students for their hard work and for representing our school so excellently throughout the season: Grace Hwang Samuel H.
