The University of New Mexico’s Department of Economics recently hosted its first-ever New Mexico Economics Research Day highlighted by the presentation of four policy projects related to the well-being of the New Mexico state economy.

The conference was made possible in part through the support of the New Mexico Legislature which allocated $125,000 last spring as part of the 2022 SB 377, Junior Appropriations bill, to conduct New Mexico-centric economics research. From the appropriation, the Economics Department funded four policy projects which were presented as part of the research day.  

“This New Mexico Economics Research Day is our attempt to more broadly distribute this research across campus and to New Mexico policymakers,” said Research Committee Chair and Professor Brady Horn, who coordinated the conference for the economics department.
