The 7th Washington Area International Finance Symposium (WAIFS) is a research conference that highlights academic work from researchers at leading finance institutions in the Washington DC area. The goal of WAIFS is to bring together researchers working in international finance and macroeconomics. Researchers, practitioners, and students from policy institutions and universities present and discuss new ideas in the field. WAIFS welcomes recently arrived, junior economists so they become integrated into the broader community. The event takes place annually at one of the partner institutions.
The conference this year will be held on September 26th at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center, located at 555 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Room 222, Washington DC.
