Virtual Events with Andersen

WIN x BCEA x Cornerstone Research Event

Join us on Thursday, March 19th from 6:00-7:00 pm in Schiller room 202 for a presentation and networking event with representatives from Cornerstone Research.

Cornerstone Research is a leading economic and financial consulting firm specializing in the analysis of complex economic, financial, accounting, and marketing issues that arise in the context of various kinds of litigation. For example, we may be asked to predict the effect of a merger of two major high-tech firms on prices and innovation, to determine the effect of unfavorable drug test results on the stock price of a leading pharmaceutical company, or to value a patent on smartphone technology that might have been infringed.

Consultants from Cornerstone Research will be holding a presentation on economic consulting, and we will walk through an interactive case interview. By participating in the presentation, you will gain a better understanding of the analytical approach used to solve complex economic and financial problems. You will have the opportunity to solve conceptual puzzles that our consultants face every day and learn about common pitfalls to avoid during case interviews.

Following the case overview, you will have the chance to meet our consultants and follow-up with any questions regarding the case discussed. We will also be available to answer questions about pursuing a career in economic consulting.

Recruiting for our 2027 Analyst and Summer Analyst positions will begin in fall 2026.

Peer-to-Peer Stata and Econometrics Help

Are you taking an upper-level elective that has you doing problem sets or projects that involve Stata programming or econometric modeling? Or are you in the Econometrics or Statistics labs? Are you writing a thesis?

The Econ Help Desk is a talented, experienced team of undergrads ready to help their peers with problem sets, assignments, and research projects involving Stata programming and/or econometric analysis. Each Help Desk team member will be available twice a week for in-person or Zoom live help. They can also answer questions asynchronously through posts on Ed Discussion. For more information on each team member's specific hours and how to access the help, please see the Econ Help Desk site. 

The Econ Help Desk will start on Tuesday, January 20, and run through the beginning of study days at the end of the semester. No appointment is necessary, but please do plan ahead (especially for end-of-semester assignments).
