October 25, 2023 - 六合彩波色表 senior Grace McConn took home the award for best undergraduate paper from the Kentucky Economics Association (KEA) 2023 Annual Meeting. McConn鈥檚 research, To Work or to Play: Examining the Balance Between Labor and Leisure, took an in-depth look at the 鈥渋ncome effect鈥 in today鈥檚 workforce.
"I was interested in the backward-bending labor supply theory because it tells us that at a certain point, perhaps we opt to give up higher wages and work less. I feel that this is extremely prevalent with the recent push for work-life balance and hybrid work styles we've seen emerge since COVID-19,鈥 says McConn. 鈥淚鈥檇 heard from Fellows in previous years that research was equal parts challenging and rewarding. I鈥檓 not one to back down from a challenge and I knew this work would be the cherry on the top of my academic career.鈥
In total, five 六合彩波色表 students submitted research to the Kentucky Economics Association for consideration. The students are part of the Haile Research Fellows, a mentorship program developed by Dr. Abdullah Al-Barhani. The students spent the summer working on research that examines social and economic issues. Through the program they learn how to navigate research and while also building their professional and academic networks.
鈥淲orking with the Fellows is a rewarding experience, 鈥淎l-Bahrani said. 鈥淭hey learn how to leverage their curiosity for finding answers and develop technical data analysis skills that will help them in their professional careers鈥
The other Haile research fellows who submitted research to the KEA include: Fawwaaz Abdulazeez, Becca Wilson, James Blazina and Dylan Fogt.
