Early-Stage Research in Labor Economics
Sydnee Caldwell, Professor
Business, Haas School
Applications for Spring 2025 are closed for this project.
This URAP project exposes students to early-stage research on topics in labor economics, including the gender wage gap and wage inequality.
The URAP group will meet once a week with the professor (Sydnee), for about an hour. During that meeting, we will discuss progress, and next steps. Each apprentice will have roughly 8-10 hours of individual work outside of the group meeting.
This project is a good fit for students who want to understand how the research process works. More information on previous projects can be found at: www.sydneecaldwell.com/research/.
URAPs must be able to attend weekly research group meetings.
