Thisconference will address pressing questions about to improve the functioning of the modern labor market. This includes who holds market power in labor markets, noncompete agreements, discrimination, and what government can do to improve the functioning of the market. The conference will bring together high-profile academic researchers, former and current government officials, and private-sector representatives.

Simon Business School is committed to elevating academic research. Our faculty are thought leaders and subject matter experts, producing research that to helps organizations better confront complicated business challenges.

The Journal of Financial Economics, the Journal of Accounting & Economics, and the Journal of Monetary Economics were all founded at the University of Rochester, and we continue to lead in research. Our renowned faculty have been published in a wide breadth of noteworthy publications, including The NY Times, The Register, Inside Higher Ed, the Journal of Financial Economics, The Economist, and many more.

Regarded as a world leader in quantitative, economics-based education, our analytics-based curriculum prepares students to lead in the global business marketplace. Our curriculum includes a strong focus on public policy and business strategy.

Macroeconomics is the study of how economies grow and fluctuate over time, and how they interact with one another. In this course, we discuss economic measurement, economic growth, and the business cycle. We also discuss the implication of modern theories of growth and fluctuation for the conduct of monetary policy and fiscal policy. There is a strong emphasis on the international linkage among economies and the implications of macroeconomics for the business environment.

This course deals with business ethics and the social responsibility of business organizations. Through class discussions and case studies, students explore the theory and practice of business ethics and develop their ability to recognize and address ethical issues. The course equips students with analytical skills in ethical reasoning and provides them with a substantive framework to deal with ethical challenges they are likely to encounter in their careers. Topics include corporate responsibilities vis--vis employees, customers, and society; insider trading; discrimination in employment and in the sharing economy; advertising and sales tactics; ethics in pricing; bribery; executive pay; intellectual property in the pharmaceutical industry; censorship; health care resource allocation; and environmental responsibilities.

The Simon DC Fellowship is an annual award given to a Simon Business School student or team to pursue Washington, DC area-based research or a similar project that focuses on the intersection of government and business.

Discussions of legal ethics generally assume that lawyers should deliberate straightforwardly on the basis of reasons to act or refrain from acting. This model of deliberation fails to account for the role of the law in resolving normative disagreement and coordinating social activity by people who do not share comprehensive ethical doctrines. The law represents a collective decision about what citizens ought to do, which replaces the reasons individuals would otherwise have to act. This Article contends that legal ethics ought to be understood as an aspect of this theory of the authority of law. On this account, lawyers have a duty not to reintroduce contested moral beliefs into the law by relying on them as a justification for action within the lawyer-client relationship. Lawyers should not act on the basis of their principled moral beliefs, but on the basis of legal directives. This does not mean that lawyers should blindly defer to their clients' wishes, and it does not entail the familiar maxim of zealous advocacy within the bounds of the law. In many cases, this conception of legal ethics is closer to the traditional vision of the lawyers as guardians of the public purposes of the law. In the course of developing this argument, this Article uses case studies of lawyering dilemmas to illustrate how respect for the law makes a difference to legal ethics.

This Article examines the significant problem of fraud within nonprofit organizations and demonstrates that current anti-fraud measures do not adequately reflect the important role employees play in perpetuating or stopping fraudulent activity. Psychological and organizational behavior studies have established the importance of (1) participation and (2) peers in shaping the behavior of individuals within the organizational context. This Article builds on that research and establishes that to successfully combat fraud, organizations must integrate employees into the design, implementation, and enforcement of anti-fraud strategy and procedures. Engaged, empowered employees will be less likely to commit fraud and more likely to dissuade their peers from fraudulent behavior. After examining the theory underlying the proposed approach, this Article sets forth directions and specific suggestions for designing an anti-fraud program that empowers employees.

The day was made up of talks by speakers who specialised in improving research into rare diseases and interactive sessions for attendees. The day had a patient focus and a wide variety of attendees; from patients suffering from extremely rare diseases and family members to charities and researchers in the field. We had our own stand to highlight all our new information about primary bone cancer (including the rarer forms and non-cancerous tumours).

Prof John Bradley is the Director of Research at Cambridge University Hospitals and a Consultant Renal Physician. He spoke to the audience regarding the future of research into rare diseases. He told us at over 3 million people have a rare disease in the UK alone, emphasising the importance of improved research strategies in this area. He finished his talk by discussing the 5 key requirements for a special and collaborative effort to manage the care of patients with rare diseases, these included:

Carolyn showed and explained examples of good and bad patient information sheets, explained the reasoning behind covering risks, benefits and the expectations of patients. She mentioned points which are often overlooked on such information sheets, such as the cost-implications for the patient, the long term commitment in terms of follow-up and the need to explain these points is detail in order for it to be clear to a lay, patient, audience.

This group was for patients suffering from a rare disease and wishing to start up their own support group, be that on Facebook or as a small charity. It emphasised the need for contacting medical experts, reaching the whole community and how to make the most out of social media.

It was interesting to hear the barriers that patients face to find support and other people in their position. The session was run by two former patients who launched their own patient groups after finding no support of their own in the UK.

This session was run by Dr Hugh Davies, a Research Ethics Advisor to the HRA, to provide patients and the audience with information on the ethical issues of research. This session was useful to anybody wishing to join an ethics committee or to understand more about how research studies are approved.
