The Federal Reserve System Committee on Applied Microeconomics was formed in 2001 and held its inaugural meeting at the San Francisco Fed. The committee's purpose is to provide a structure in which Federal Reserve applied microeconomists can interact and allow their individual activities to enhance each other's work. An annual research conference allows economists to share their current research and to learn about their microeconomic System colleagues' research. Previous conference agendas are available.
