About Us

The St. Louis Fed is expanding its involvement in the states and communities of the 8th Federal Reserve District. As part of this initiative, the Research Division has formed the 8th District Business and Economics Research Group (BERG). Its members are the St. Louis Fed’s CRE8^® and university-based centers for business and economics research in the states of the 8th District.

The purpose of BERG is to create a forum for researchers with a detailed knowledge of subareas of the 8th District. For the St. Louis Fed, BERG will provide valuable sources of information on the economic trends and conditions within our District. For BERG members, it will provide a network for presenting, discussing, and comparing their research on state and local level economies.

The primary activity of BERG is an annual one-day spring conference consisting of papers presented by BERG members on activities, developments, policies, and conditions in their respective states or areas.
