In part one of our series on QAMO, we interview Scott Schaefer,* the co-founder of the Quantitative Analysis of Markets and Organizations (QAMO) program at the University of Utah. Scott chats about the academic objectives of this budding major and how a background in business economics provides a foundational toolkit for any job.

*Scott Schaefer is the John W. McIntyre Family Endowed Chair for Free Market Economics and Professor of Finance at the University of Utah’s David Eccles School of Business.
