  Economic Seminars  

 
  The FCC Economic Seminars program, managed by OSP, is intended to advance recent economic analyses in the fields of industrial organization, regulation, and applied microeconomics. The Commission recognizes the importance of expanding its engagement with the research community because staff members often must address difficult issues requiring substantive expertise. Invited speakers primarily are economists but they also include other professionals with expertise on communications issues of interest to FCC economists. The seminar schedules are organized in the spring and fall.
