National Fed Challenge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Fed Challenge is an academic competition that provides high school students (grades 9-12) with an insider's view of how the United States central bank, the Federal Reserve, makes monetary policy.
The Fed Challenge begins with regional and district rounds of competition. Each Fed Challenge team, consisting of five students, presents an analysis of the current state of the economy backed by current economic data and a monetary policy recommendation for the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Following the presentation, judges question each team about their presentation and their knowledge of macroeconomic theory. Federal Reserve Bank economists and officers judge the district competitions.
One Fed Challenge team from each of the seven participating Federal Reserve Districts competes at the national competition in Washington, D.C. FOMC members — Federal Reserve Governors and Reserve Bank Presidents — judge the national finals.
The competition was founded in 1994 under the guidance of Steve Malin, a Vice President at the New York Fed.
There is also a College National Fed Challenge competition.
