Founded in 2010 and first published in 2011, Equilibrium is the rigorous Undergraduate Journal of Economics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Our mission is to showcase the excellent research undertaken by undergraduates in the economics department and to convey economic literature to wider audiences. EQ Journal publishes articles on an annual basis in Spring. Each Equilibrium volume includes articles written and edited by undergraduates about analysis-based articles, research reviews, opinion pieces on trending topics in economics, and faculty interviews with department members. Copies of previous EQ editions can be found at the Undergraduate Economics Office (7238 Social Sciences), and digital issues are accessible for download on this website.
EQ is currently hosting the process of the Vol.15 publication. The journal writing process occurs primarily in the Fall semester. Contributing Writers select a topic of interest and follow an in-depth writing/editorial process to make their pieces the best they can be for Physical Journal publication. Contributing Writers are required to engage in rounds of peer review and faculty review to reflect, critique, and improve forthcoming pieces. For potential writers joining in the Spring semester, our Editorial Board encourages you to submit pieces for our EQ Online Journal. This online platform offers writers flexibility to write what they want and when they want to with simplified reviewing requirements. Also be on the lookout for the Econ Department’s weekly email, as it will include information on upcoming EQ meetings. We hope to see your stellar work soon!

**This website is fully renovated by Volume 13 Editor-in-Chiefs and maintained by Journal Advisor Tara Ninmann. The renovation aims to increase content exposure, student engagement, and the identity of our EQ community. The new features mainly include the past EQ Volume, Submission Guidelines, EQ Staff Profile, and Alumni Lounge (and more). The site was created while working on Volume 8 of Equilibrium when the Editorial Board decided to increase our audience. Our Contributing Writers focus on informing readers about the latest in economic research and providing economic-based perspectives on current events of all topics as they arise. Starting from Volume 13, EQ posts Physical Editions articles on this website as well for better web search and document archive.
