New York Fed to Publish Journal of Future Economists on June 25

June 23, 2025

NEW YORK—On Wednesday, June 25, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York will publish the Journal of Future Economists. The journal is comprised of the selected papers from the 2025 High School Fed Challenge, an annual academic paper competition. The competition, now in its 30th year, was open to high school teams across the nation for the first time.

Participating student teams research and analyze an economic theme, then write and submit podcast scripts reflecting their research. The 2025 theme was Economics of Food. School teams submitted 195 papers; of those, Federal Reserve reviewers selected 12 to publish. Selected papers were announced in May.

The competition is sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and the New York Fed. For more information and previous editions of the Journal of Future Economists, please see High School Fed Challenge.
