Joint Applied Micro Seminar

The Joint Applied Micro Seminar (JAMS) is held from 3:30 to 4:45 pm on the second Wednesday of the month. The separate applied micro seminars (i.e., labor, public, history, trade, and industrial organization) meet jointly and the goal is to invite the most exciting speakers and papers from across these fields.
