Economic History Workshop
Organized by: Timothy Guinnane
The weekly workshop in economic history is a central part of the program. Speakers include Yale faculty and graduate students as well as distinguished scholars from other institutions. Papers are normally available in advance, and we emphasize informal discussion of the paper. All are welcome, regardless of department or institutional affiliation.

Mondays, 4:00 - 5:30 pm, Eastern Standard Time. All seminars will be on Zoom with recordings available upon request.
