Research Associate Jennifer Pitzer, PhD, traveled to Chicago to present original research at a conference session for the American Economic Association (AEA), part of the Allied Social Science Association (ASSA) annual meeting.

Dr. Pitzer presented research on the Economics Center’s Student Enterprise Program (StEP) examining how the impact of the program changes as students move through it over the years.

The project focused on the Winton Woods School District which has phased in a district-wide implementation of the program in third through eighth grades. The research found that cumulative years of participation in StEP may improve standardized test scores in math and reading, particularly by sixth grade.
