Undergraduate Journals and Conferences: Pathways to Understanding the Economics Profession
Stephen B. DeLoach; Steven A. Greenlaw
Journal of Economic Education, v56 n1 p98-109 2025
The "Issues in Political Economy" (IPE) journal and related conference sessions were established in the early 1990s as outlets for undergraduates to present and publish peer-reviewed research in economics. By providing opportunities to attend and present at professional conferences, referee papers, and edit journal issues, IPE reflects authentic practices within the profession. In this article, the authors describe the benefits that accrue to students who participate in the public dissemination of research, explain how IPE operates, offer some descriptive evidence of its success over the years, and conclude by describing how several departments have leveraged IPE to complement their curricula and build sustainable cultures of undergraduate research at their institutions.
