For the first time, Elon competed in the Fed
Challenge at the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond‘s Charlotte branch office. The
Fed Challenge is a simulation of an Open
Federal Market Committee meeting. Stu-
dents undertook research, analyzed date on
current economic conditions and decided on an appropriate monetary policy. They then deliver a 20 min-
ute presentation being scored on content, teamwork, responses and presentation. This year Elon finished
in second place competing against UNC- Chapel Hill, UNC- Wilmington, Clemson, Davidson, Appalachian
State, Gardner-Webb, Lenoir-Rhyne, and Winston-Salem State.
The team consisted of: Thomas Gutierrez ‘13, Brian McGerigle ‘12, George Piland ‘13, Charles Rice ‘13,
Justin Wanner ‘13 Thomas Whyel ‘13 and content advisors were Zach Power ‘12 and Jordan Duffy ‘13.
Professors Jennifer Platania and Vitaly Strohush coached the team.

Greetings from the Chair
Things are changing in the economics department. Is anyone surprised? When has the depart-
ment been still for any period of time? We have roughly 200 majors and minors, and we now

hush. In their first competition the team finished as Division Finalists! Con-
gratulations to Jordan, Thomas G., Brian, George, Zach, Charles, Justin, and
Thomas P. Issues in Political Economy turned 20 this year, congratulations to
Drs. DeLoach and Greenlaw. As far as student papers go, Kaylyn took the 1st
Place Allen Starling Johnson Jr Outstanding Symposium Presentation prize at
Duke and Grace‘s paper was selected as the best paper for the Midwest Eco-
nomics Association undergraduate paper competition. Faculty publications are
rampant this year – look to the department web site – we, students and faculty alike, are making
this a better and better place.
That‘s the highlights, read the rest of the newsletter for details and other accomplish-
ments. Things are going well, do keep in touch and please come visit whenever you are in the

Undergraduate Success
Five students presented under-
graduate research at the East-
ern Economic Association an-
nual conference in Boston, MA
March 9-11, 2012. This confer-
ence allows members to pre-
sent their research and act as
discussants for other under-
graduate papers.
Senior Tyler Zoda appreciated
the opportunity, ―The Easterns
experience was a good one
because it was the first time I
ever presented my thesis, so it
gave me good presentation
experience and it allowed me
to meet a lot of other smart
econ majors from around the
country. I also got good feed-
back on my paper that allowed
it to get published in the Issues
in Political Economy Journal. ―
Grace Foster also presented her
paper at the Midwest Economics
Association annual conference in
Chicago, IL. She was one of
twelve undergraduate students
selected to present her paper and
was selected as the best under-
graduate paper of the session.
Grace also presented her paper
at the Duke Economics Depart-
ment Undergraduate Research
Symposium. Grace worked
under the guidance of assistant
professor Katy Rouse and pro-
fessor Steve DeLoach.
Junior Alex Spitz will be working as
a research assistant in Aachen, Ger-
many this summer at RWTH
Aachen University. The project he
will be working on is a
"Macroeconomic Analysis of the
Need for Urban Development
Funds."

Elon Microfinance Initiative and Muhammad Yunus
The Elon Microfinance Initiative works with both the local community and internationally to help
business owners through sustainable giving. Last year was the inaugural year consisting of four
members who ran a small business workshop with Alamance Community College. This year they
now have 20 members and are growing in other areas.
So far this year, they
have works with two
small business owners in
the Burlington area.
They have assisted the
organizations in market-
ing strategies and busi-
ness planning ideas to
launch their small busi-
nesses. In addition they
have organized publicity
events to advertise these
companies. This in-
cluded a book signing for
JAB‘s Love letters as well
as a self defense class. All proceeds to each event were donated to all small business owners
throughout the world. They have a Kiva account, a website that is used to make loans to small
businesses and receive payments backs. In essence, they choose who to make loans to and then
are repaid the money, in which case they loan more to others.

James Black
Elon Graduate Helping Afghanistan James Black, a 2009 graduate was selected for Elon’s 2012, Top 10
Under 10 awards, recognizing outstanding young alumni. Upon
graduating, Black volunteered to be deployed to Afghanistan and
in February of 2011 he flew to Helmand Province as a psychological
operations specialist in the U.S. Army. Sangin, a district of Helmand
Province, has been one of the best distressed districts within Af-
ghanistan. The people there
suffer from terror from the Tali-
ban, such as beatings and
murder. This includes limiting
education as the Taliban
places fear into teachers and
parents. In the summer of
2011, Black recognized this
and saw the opportunity to
help the educational oppor-
tunity in Sangin. Black contacted Elon University to promote educa-
tional resources. Elon responded quickly, within one month students,
faculty, alumni and other donors contributed close to 1000 pounds
of materials. The support and responsibility for providing an increase
in lifestyle falls on The Government of the Islamic Republic of Af-
ghanistan (GIRoA). The supplies were routed through the Afghan
officials to local schools – enough to sustain a year’s worth of edu-
cation. Black has helped inspire children to get an education; excit-
ing them with pencils, papers and markers. With the help of Black
and Elon University, Afghans are being provided the tools for a bet-
ter future.

What makes the Economics department at Elon so special?
When it comes to studying Economics, Elon faculty know that students must do
more than memorize theories and concepts. They must also be critical thinkers,
keen analysts and astute problem solvers because economists must have the
skills to understand a variety of changing conditions — from what drives institu-
tional change to how consumer behavior will change over time.
At Elon, Economics courses are designed to help students develop economic
reasoning — a particular way of looking at the world that is valuable in govern-
ment service, business, law, and many other fields.
With Elon‘s distinctive active learning approach, students develop the poise and
confidence essential to success in their studies and careers. This approach to
learning means students engage not only in their own research, but also work
one-on-one with Economics faculty in scholarly endeavors.
