#IRLCONN™  partnered with the Economics department at the University of Connecticut to create the IRL Case Study. An empirical project, which gave students hands-on experience in working with data and proposing a solution to a real problem for  business. The presentations were created by the students of Professor Smirnova’s Mathematical Economics Fall ’19 class. At the end of the project, the students had the opportunity to present their solutions to business leaders within the city & state. Students had the opportunity not only to showcase their research but also network with business professionals, Q&A, and connections for opportunities.
