The FED CHALLENGE Competition promotes economic literacy by asking students to analyze economic conditions and recommend an appropriate course for monetary policy in a presentation before a panel of judges. The FED CHALLENGE encourages the development of important skills such as: research and analysis; decision-making; argument formulation; and effective communication.
