Presentation of the 2025-2026 Center of Economic Research Annual Newsletter
The Center for Economic Research (CER) is the main administrative vehicle for organizing, coordinating and publicizing the substantial research efforts of the GW Columbian College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Economics. The center is home to the H.O. Stekler Research Program in Forecasting, an endowed research program in the Columbian College. Our faculty have published in top journals, presented at conferences around the world and are frequently called upon by media outlets to discuss the latest trends in economic forecasting.
Across the George Washington University, scientists and scholars are embracing the moment and building new AI tools to push the boundaries of their fields.
