2016-2017 Dues

Dear faculty, staff, and graduate students in the economics department,

You are all members of the Graduate Economics Club! We organize the department's social events (happy hours, barbecues and the skit party). We hope you will enjoy this year's events and help us fund them by paying your dues (a suggested donation of $35).

There are four ways to pay:

1. Write a check payable to "Graduate Economics Club" and put it in Jenny Shen's mailbox.

2. Pay your dues in cash or Venmo to one of the six GEC board members (David Arnold, Reyhan Ayas, Chris Mills, Hannah Rubinton, Jenny Shen, or Andrew Langan), who will record your name and forward your payment to the treasurer.

3. Donate using Paypal, through the Paypal link below.

4. Donate by credit or debit card, through the Paypal link below. (You do not need a Paypal account to do so!)

Thanks!

Nobel Prize Contest

This year the prize will be $200, to be divided evenly among members with winning entries. Here are the rules:

Pay your dues (see above).
Email your entry to the GEC by 11:59 pm Eastern time on Sunday, October 9th, 2016.
One entry per member with paid dues, additional entries can be purchased for $10 each.
An entry consists of a set of names. You may NOT guess "nobody guesses a correct answer." That's just no fun.
Let S be the set of names of the actual recipients of the 2016 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
An entry is correct if it is a subset of S.
An entry's size is given by the counting measure on the sigma algebra of all subsets of S.
An entry wins if it is the largest correct nonempty entry among the submissions.
