Top Economics Conferences 2012
Conferences have been a pillar of academic thought in the western world for almost a century.

How Economics Is Embracing Its Young
After our tour of economics conferences this summer, the INOMICS team was impressed by the number of young economists at these events. Anecdotally, many delegates have the impression that there is a trend towards younger academics at even long-established, annual events, as well as more female delegates than were present in the past. Perhaps the time of economics conferences as the preserve of distinguished, yet silver-haired, bearded men is coming to a close.

Assessing Cryptocurrency's Potential to Overthrow the U.S. Dollar's Dominance in the Financial System
For decades, the U.S. dollar has reigned supreme as the world's primary reserve currency. Its dominance can be attributed to several factors, including the size and stability of the U.S. economy, the political influence of the United States, and the widespread acceptance of the dollar in international trade and finance.
