The Emory Economics Review (EER) is a student organization of Emory University in Atlanta, GA, whose aim is to foster discussion around socio-economic issues present around the world. Among the very basic principles that guide our writers and editors are those expressed as respect for the integrity of knowledge, objectivity in analysis, and openness to new perspectives. Through our professor and faculty partnerships, our socially and academically diverse collection of students, and physical and digital platforms, the EER is a purposefully constructed environment in which intellectual curiosity is promoted and thought-provoking questions are explored. Although economics is in our name, we accept individuals from all academic backgrounds whose goals are to produce work that makes a positive contribution to ongoing debates within our society. On a semesterly basis, the EER recruits members that push boundaries by bringing unique perspectives to our content, with the end goal of producing work that is holistically representative of the Emory community. Our annual volumes of print issues reflects the best work of our writers and editors from throughout the academic year. Although we cannot feature all content in our print issues, every article is available on our website and featured on social media.
