Northeastern’s Economic Journal
EconPress is an editorial journal exclusively showcasing undergraduate economic research. Founded in the Spring of 2009 by motivated individuals with a passion for economics, the journal publishes papers on a variety of topics based on merit, encompassing both quantitative and qualitative research. Although published by students from Northeastern University, EconPress is not limited to Northeastern students, having received and published papers from undergraduates at MIT, Stanford, Tufts, and other universities in the greater Boston area. Each journal averages around 80 pages and features 4-6 papers. In addition to the journal the club features a weekly newsletter, engaging blogs, and an insightful podcast, providing diverse platforms for students to showcase their talents.
Meetings are held weekly to review submitted papers for the journal and discuss current events for the newsletter, fostering a collaborative environment for intellectual growth. EconPress offers a space for individuals to deepen their understanding of economics while strengthening their writing and analytical skills, whether through contributing to multiple groups or focusing on a specific area.
