The Fed Challenge is a national competition sponsored by the Federal Reserve Board. In this competition, teams of three to five students assume the role of advisors to the Federal Open Market Committee in the conduct of monetary policy. Teams make a twenty-minute presentation and are then questioned by a panel of Federal Reserve in Washington for the final competition. IPFW competes in the regional competition held by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
The competition encourages students to apply theoretical topics in macroeconomics and monetary policy to the actual, current economic situation. The competition requires students to assemble and process current macroeconomic information and data. It also requires students to move beyond a theoretical understanding of monetary policy into a detailed understanding of the implementation of monetary policy. Participants are expected to develop a very professional presentation style.
IPFW first started competing at the Fed Reserve Bank in Chicago in 2006.
Seven students from Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) went to Chicago on Monday, November 16, to take part in the annual Fed Challenge at the Seventh District Federal Reserve offices.
The College Fed Challenge provides undergraduates with a chance to experience the policy-making process at the Federal Reserve. Each team will have 20 minutes to present an analysis of the current U.S. economy, a short-term forecast, and make a monetary policy recommendation. Then the team will defend its view before a panel of professional economists in a 15-minute question and answer session.
The teams are scored in five categories: knowledge of the Fed and its role in making and implementing monetary policy, responses to judges' questions, quality of the presentation, quality of the research, and teamwork. They can score up to 50 total points.
The IPFW team consisted of Joshua Drudge, David Kimmey, Jonathan Miller, Shahin Modarressi, Thomas Motter, Preston Patillo, and Tony Zimmerman. They are coached by Dr. Nodir Adilov, Prof. John Kessler and Dr. Myeong Hwan Kim.
