Carolina Economics Club

Welcome to the Carolina Economics Club (CEC) based at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The Carolina Economics Club (CEC) creates opportunities for students to explore economics outside their traditional coursework through fun, tangible, and impactful programming. The Executive Board, along with club advisor, Dr. Chris Handy, works to coordinate events that enable their peers to discuss and debate about how economics affects our lives by exposing them to the frontiers of economic research and reasoning. The CEC also aims to foster a strong network of students and alumni through networking events and Case Competitions.

The major events that the Club coordinates include a speaker series which features well-known economists, authors, and researchers as well as professors and professionals. This series also includes panel discussions in which speakers share their perspectives and discuss or debate with others on a focused topic relating to economics such as Minimum Wage, Bush Tax Cuts, U.S. Financial Crisis, Euro crisis, Fiscal and Monetary Policy, and other research and policy-oriented topics. Additionally, the club coordinates informal exchanges of information amo
