Building the School of Economics at the University of Utah

The University of Utah is bringing together its two economics units — the Department of Economics and the Division of Quantitative Analysis of Markets and Organizations (QAMO) — to build a School of Economics that connects economic theory, quantitative analysis, data, markets, organizations, policy, and student opportunity.

This site is the home for updates, events, student engagement, faculty conversations, and public discussion as we shape what comes next.
