Ridgewood NJ, The RHS Federal Challenge team took Third place in the final round of the competition that is run by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on behalf of the United States Federal Reserve system. The competition asks groups of high school students to research the domestic/global economy, develop a mathematical model for forecasting the domestic economy, present their research to a panel of high-ranking economists working at the FRBNY, and answer complex questions about both the team’s research and the economy.
Their method was to determine what the Fed was forecasting and predict the opposite.
If this is a nationwide ranking, I am very impressed.
