University of Toronto Economic Review

University of Toronto Economic Review Economics journal published by undergraduates at the University of Toronto, supported by Department of Economics and the Economics Students' Association.

Every semester, undergraduate students in the University of Toronto’s rigorous undergraduate economics program produce original, creative, and
thoughtful works for a variety of courses. Students spend weeks carefully collecting data, discovering patterns, presenting results, and invoking thoughtful
discussion. At the end of all this hard work, their labour of love is only ever appreciated by one or two graders. This certainly seems like a waste. Undergraduates are capable of producing high quality work that can be discussed and appreciated by other undergraduates. Indeed, in drafting papers for advanced courses, it is not uncommon to find students within the class discussing their papers and receiving valuable feedback. Undergraduates may have a more primitive toolbox of research tools than more seasoned economists, but we are still thirsty for knowledge and eager to share our work with others. The University of Toronto Economic Review provides a means through which quality undergraduate papers can be shared with the entire academic community. We are excited to present this inaugural edition as a first taste
of the University’s undergraduate quality, and we hope you find interesting the selection of articles included.
