Chen Zhang (Honours in Economics, expected Spring 2024) was selected to present his thesis-related research during this year’s Atlantic Association of Applied Economists (AAAE) student panel. His presentation was titled: Wildfire Impact on Halifax Housing Prices: A Hedonic Analysis.

Each year AAAE hosts an undergraduate student panel. A small number of economics students studying in any of the Universities in Atlantic Canada are selected  to present their research to a panel of primarily non-academic economists.

 The AAAE is a membership-driven professional association providing forums for current economic and public policy issues. The association benefits its members by providing opportunities for professional development and networking with other economists and analysts. AAAE is the local chapter of the Canadian Association for Business Economics.
