The Center for Applied Financial Economics arranges for a select number of faculty to visit the Institute by invitation only.  Guests stay between 3 – 5 days to meet with Ph.D. students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty in the department of Economics, Marshall School of Business, and Price School of Public Policy.  They attend individual and group meetings and often participate in the Seminar Series.
