Murray Weidenbaum Tribute Forum

Renowned economists gathered on May 20, 2013 to pay tribute to the Weidenbaum Center’s founder and honorary chairman, Murray Weidenbaum, in a forum tailor-made to highlight his life-long accomplishments.

The afternoon was devoted to a public forum that kicked off with a panel on “Current Challenges in Regulation.” The second session focused on today’s challenges in macroeconomic policy.  After both sessions, speakers and discussants took questions from the audience.

Weidenbaum Center Forums are free and open to the public.
