DERA Seminar Series: Distinguished Visiting Scholars

The Distinguished Visiting Scholars Program attracts senior researchers in the profession for short-term (1 week) visits to the Commission. The visits are intended to promote staff development by providing opportunities for SEC economists to learn from and interact with leading academic researchers in areas of interest to the Commission. DERA staff nominates and selects the distinguished scholars based on their body of work and knowledge of economic issues relevant to the Division’s ongoing research agenda. Selected scholars deliver a lecture or series of lectures on their area of expertise and have an opportunity to meet with staff outside of the Division to share their insights and to learn about the institutional details relevant to their research programs. Below is a list of distinguished scholars who have visited the SEC:
