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.
U.S. national debt is rising quickly beyond 100% of annual GDP, the total value of final goods and services produced in the U.S. in one year. Plausible projections show the national debt rising to 175% of GDP or even higher in coming decades. Matheny will ask and explore: Do such fiscal trajectories with rapid increases in national debt limit the ability to respond effectively to national emergencies?
Space is limited for PURCE luncheons, and registration is required. Please register here by noon on Friday, September 4.
