The Opportunity & Inclusive Growth Institute announced the 2024-2025 cohort of visiting scholars selected to conduct research while in residence at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
Institute visiting scholars will research questions that address how to increase economic opportunity for all Americans. These scholars bring with them a broad range of technical expertise and research interests, including international trade and public health.
"In some ways, this year's cohort is an exciting mix of old and new. We're welcoming back some folks who participated in mentoring initiatives at the Institute and Minneapolis Fed-it's exciting to see their careers develop and to welcome them as scholars," said Institute Director Abigail Wozniak. "At the same time, we're expanding the ways our in-person visits can be even more impactful, such as bringing in co-author teams that don't typically get to work together in the same space."
In addition to the visiting scholar program, the Institute hosts an annual research conference to convene academic and policy experts from across the country to discuss leading edge research related to the Institute's mission.
"We are looking forward to welcoming this new cohort of visiting scholars. They bring different perspectives and impressive research skills," said Alessandra Fogli, assistant director for inequality research. "We are eager to collaborate with them in our efforts to promote an inclusive path for economic growth."
Since 2017, the Institute has hosted a total of 133 visiting scholars in seven cohorts. The following scholars make up the Institute's eighth cohort.
