Spring 2021 Economics Capstone Projects

Students enrolled in Dr. Madhavi Venkatesan’s Spring 2021 Senior Seminar course were given the opportunity to design an individual capstone research project. All projects include the application of economics but with varying approaches. The outcomes of the research projects are highlighted below.
The breadth of the topics chosen showcase the ubiquitous nature of economics as well as its plurality, highlighting that economics is not limited to quantitative methods but rather is the “business of life.”
