ÐßÐßÂþ»­Team Conducts Research at State Fair

A team from the ÐßÐßÂþ»­economics program (students Reece Thomas, Matthew Maroney, Malina Kleinschmidt, Kaw Law Eh Moo and Vanessa Pham, along with professor Stacie Bosley) recently conducted research at the Minnesota State Fair as part of the University of Minnesota's Driven to Discover (D2D) research program. The ÐßÐßÂþ»­group utilized this opportunity to study potential government regulations that could provide more information to consumers when considering risky business opportunities. Over 300 fairgoers participated in the study, and all received ÐßÐßÂþ»­prizes for their participation. This research was supported by the ÐßÐßÂþ»­Summer Collaborative Research program (which Matthew, Reece, and Stacie participated in this summer), and the William Kahlert Endowed Professorship in Economics.
