Economic Scholars Program

The Economic Scholars Program (ESP) is an annual conference in Dallas, Texas that highlights undergraduate research in economics and business. It is co-hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and Austin College. The conference is typically held on the last Friday in March or first Friday in April[1] and is modeled after professional economics conferences. Undergraduate students participate in the conference as presenters of original or faculty-coauthored research, discussants, session chairs or audience member participants. Each level of participation in the program is designed to reflect the growing interests and skills of undergraduate students. Additionally, the ESP added a poster session in 2011 to accommodate more student research.
