The University of Chicago’s Expanding Diversity in Economics (EDE) Summer Institute was launched in 2021 by the Becker Friedman Institute for Economics to identify and support talented undergraduate students from a broad range of backgrounds interested in the study of economics. Our goal is to diversify the pool of students majoring in economics and to inspire them to graduate study or a career drawing on this important skill set.
This video highlights the importance of diversity in economics and recaps the first three cohorts of the program.
