This month, UChicago faculty members and Nobel Laureates Lars Peter Hansen and James Heckman will host the inaugural event for the University of Chicago Policy Forum, a new series in which they will moderate economic policy debates with top scholars from around the world.

The quarterly forum will serve as a venue for scholars, students, and the community to come together to examine questions of economics, policy, and social sciences. The first event will be hosted at our own Keller Center, and address contributions of behavioral economics. For our incoming and current students, this provides another exciting opportunity to engage with leading academics and community members.
