The UO Econ Club will conduct a research and debate project in fall 2015. Members will be assigned topics and required to create 6-minute presentations with supporting data and arguments. After all presentations, members will debate and ask questions of each other to critically discuss inconsistencies and disagreements. Teams will be evaluated on their presentations and ability to defend their positions during debate. The winner will receive a prize. Five topics were listed relating to issues in criminal justice, immigration, trade agreements, banking regulations, and monetary policy.
