Brett Cayer Competed in College Federal Reserve Challenge

2016 Nov 15

Five students from the Investment Management course faced down challengers from some of New England's most prestigious educational institutions at the College Federal Reserve Challenge on Monday, Nov. 14 in Boston, Mass. Hosted by the Boston Federal Reserve District, the Colby-Sawyer team analyzed macroeconomic variables and presented a monetary policy recommendation to competition judges.

"The group was well-prepared and made a compelling monetary policy recommendation," said Associate Professor of Business Administration Christopher Kubik. "They included information on gross domestic product, inflation (core and headline), personal consumption expenditure, housing starts, oil prices, consumer confidence, consumer debt, industrial production, trade balances, unemployment rates (U3 and U6), labor force participation, household earnings, property pricing, financial markets, exchange rates, the fed balance sheet and more! To say that the research and presentation was comprehensive would be an understatement."
