The Purdue University Research Center in Economics (PURCE) hosts a number of events each year that highlight our faculty, their research, and the research's ability to help community groups, businesses, and government address economic challenges. The center also hosts visitors to campus for lectures and more intimate conversations; many events are open to the public while some are reserved for students or PURCE partners and supporters.
If you would like to be invited to our events, join our mailing list by sharing your contact information with us by emailing purce@purdue.edu.
PURCE hosts for community, business and government leaders and academic peers a monthly in-person economic policy luncheon, which includes a faculty talk, catered lunch, networking and Q&A.
Students: The center greatly appreciates your interest in these events. However, because PURCE's economic policy luncheons regularly reach capacity, we must reserve registrations for members of the business community. Seats will open up for Economics PhD students only if space is available.
Toby Moskowitz will discuss the current landscape of the rapidly growing prediction and sports betting markets. Drawing upon his latest research, he’ll show how the behavior of market participants is similar in both markets, and similar to that of financial markets. Asset pricing implications of this behavior are consistent across prediction, sports, and financial markets, including stock, bond, currency, commodity, and even private equity markets. Moskowitz will also discuss some of the impediments and differences across these markets that may distort these connections and what policies might be forthcoming to mitigate or exacerbate them.
Moskowitz is a Daniels School Distinguished Fellow and the Dean Takahashi Chaired Professor of Finance and Economics at Yale University. His research focuses on financial economics, with an emphasis on asset pricing and investment management. Along with David Swensen, the CIO of the Yale endowment, he co-founded the master’s program in Asset Management at Yale. He has also written about sports analytics and sports betting, including the New York Times best-seller Scorecasting.
Space is limited for our luncheons, and registration is required. Please register here by noon on Friday, January 23.
