The Econometrics Game is a competition where teams of one to four students from top universities across the US (and some international ones too!) are given a dataset and 14 hours to devise and answer a question of economic importance. Each team must then write a comprehensive research paper. The teams judged to have the best papers are then selected to present their findings in front of a panel of judges. The top team will receive iPads. The second place team will receive kindles. All teams who make it to the final round will receive signed copies of a book written by a UChicago professor.

We will provide financial support to cover hotel rooms for non-UChicago teams. We cannot cover the cost of flights for teams who will need to travel to Chicago. Please seek financial support from your department for these flights.
