Invisible Hand Seminar

Led and organized by Daniel Klein (dklein@gmu.edu)

This seminar serves the Adam Smith program community, and gives a forum for graduate students to develop and present their work. Contact me to receive the paper. It is OK to attend without having read the paper. We go to dinner afterward.
