The Purdue University Research Center in Economics (PURCE) hosts a number of events each year that highlight our faculty, their research, and the research's ability to help community groups, businesses, and government address economic challenges. The center also hosts visitors to campus for lectures and more intimate conversations; many events are open to the public while some are reserved for students or PURCE partners and supporters.
If you would like to be invited to our events, join our mailing list by sharing your contact information with us by emailing purce@purdue.edu.
PURCE hosts for community, business and government leaders and academic peers a monthly in-person economic policy luncheon, which includes a faculty talk, catered lunch, networking and Q&A.
Students: The center greatly appreciates your interest in these events. However, because PURCE's economic policy luncheons regularly reach capacity, we must reserve registrations for members of the business community. Seats will open up for Economics PhD students only if space is available.
Hedlund will discuss the role of economic analysis in policymaking and lessons learned on how to effectively work with others possessing diverse professional backgrounds to advance common policy objectives. He’ll explore the tax policy from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Purdue Associate Professor of Economics Aaron Hedlund is a PURCE affiliate, a Research Fellow at the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank and an affiliate of the Daniels School’s Dean V. White Real Estate Finance Program. His research interests include real estate, household finance and macroeconomics. Hedlund is on leave from the business school to serve as Chief Economist at the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) at the White House.
