Call 2nd Edition Workshop Macroeconometrics in Salerno (1-2 October 2026)
This workshop aims to advance the use of macroeconometric tools to understand and address some of the most pressing challenges facing economies today. From rising inequality and environmental degradation to inflationary pressures and the diffusion of artificial intelligence, economies are undergoing rapid and complex transformations. Macroeconometric methods provide a powerful framework for analyzing these dynamics, quantifying their effects, and offering evidence-based guidance for policy design. The workshop seeks to foster dialogue between methodological innovation and applied research, and to strengthen the link between academic analysis and policy relevance. We welcome empirical contributions that use time series, structural models, panel data methods, machine learning, and DSGE approaches, among others. Interdisciplinary perspectives from economics, econometrics, and related fields are highly encouraged. The event brings together scholars and practitioners working at the intersection of macroeconomic modeling, empirical analysis, and real-world challenges. We invite submissions that apply or develop macroeconometric techniques to explore a wide range of current issues, including but not limited to: Income and wealth distribution Climate change economics Inflation dynamics Monetary policy Fiscal policy Labour market Structural change and long-term growth Business cycle analysis Topics in macroeconometric methodology
We are pleased to announce the second edition of the workshop Macroeconometrics in Salerno. The event will take place on 1–2 October 2026 at the University of Salerno (Fisciano (SA), Italy). The workshop will feature both seminars delivered by well-known international scholars and egg-timer presentations by early-career researchers. We are pleased to confirm Efrem Castelnuovo (University of Padova), Davide Furceri (IMF and University of Palermo) and Francesco Zanetti (Oxford University) as our keynote speakers. The call is meant to gather proposals for egg-timer presentations by early-career researchers, such as (but not limited to) post-doctoral researchers and PhD students.

Whitney K. Newey Awarded Nemmers Prize in Economics
Whitney K. Newey, the Ford Professor of Economics Emeritus at MIT, was recognised for his significant contributions to semiparametric econometrics and modern machine learning-based inference. Newey's pioneering work has guided econometricians and empirical researchers over several decades, laying crucial foundations for modern machine learning-based inference. His contributions include significant advancements in variance estimation, nonparametric simultaneous equations, and consumer surplus estimation with heterogeneity. He is known for developing, together with Kenneth D. West in the late 1980s, the Newey–West estimator, which robustly estimates the covariance matrix of a regression model where the standard assumptions of regression analysis do not apply. Notably, his influential 1994 paper in Econometrica introduced general formulae for the asymptotic variance of semiparametric estimators. Renowned as a Distinguished Fellow of the American Economic Association and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Newey's achievements firmly place him at the forefront of econometrics. His reputation is further bolstered by his fellowship in the Econometric Society. Newey is scheduled to visit Northwestern University during the 2026-27 academic year, where he will engage in collaborative programming with faculty and students from the Economics department. This recognition of Newey's contributions not only highlights his individual achievements but also underscores the continued importance of econometrics in addressing complex economic questions in an increasingly data-driven world. About the Erwin Plein Nemmers Prize in Economics The Prize was established in 1994 and is awarded for achievement and work of lasting significance in the field of economics. It comes with a reward of $300,000. Recipients of the Erwin Plein Nemmers Prize present lectures, participate in department seminars, and engage with Northwestern faculty and students in other scholarly activities. Past winners have included Michael Woodford, Claudia Goldin and Daron Acemoglu. Image Credits: With kind permission from Prof. Whitney Newey, via Northwestern University

TU Dublin Economics and Finance Students Achieve First Prize at Goodbody Managed Fund Competition
The winning team was led by Head of Fund Matas Galinis and Chief Investment Officer Petar Martic, alongside analysts Ben Freeney, Cathal Ennis, Hamzat Salam, Harry Fennell, Kawana Brancallião, Joshua Molyneux, and Luka Chepikov. The award took place on Monday, 20 April. This remarkable achievement reflects the extensive research and rigorous analysis that the students undertook during the competition. They received strong academic support from their Investment and Portfolio Management lecturer, Ruth O’Leary. Second place went to a team from Dublin City University, whom the judges described having demonstrated "deep understandings of their portfolio and the associated risks". The Goodbody competition is designed to provide advanced undergraduate students with valuable real-world experience in investment management by allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting. Participants are challenged to manage a simulated investment portfolio, developing strategies based on macroeconomic trends and company fundamentals. Staff from the financial services and stockbrokers' firm Goodbody work with undergraduate students to get hands-on experience of managing equity funds. Teams were entered from multiple Irish universities, including TU Dublin, Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, University College Cork, NUI Maynooth, ATU Galway, University of Limerick and Dublin City University. The teams needed to utilise advanced analytical skills developed during their undergraduate Economics and Finance programs. Their work involved macroeconomic analysis, company valuation, and assessing risks, which are crucial for efficient long-term fund allocation. In addition to their technical expertise, the winning team from TU Dublin exhibited strong capabilities in pitching investment ideas and teamwork – key skills highly valued in the financial services industry. The result was announced in a LinkedIn post, and also announced by winners TU Dublin, who understandably highlighted the achievement as evidence of the strength of its Economics and Finance programme in preparing students for successful careers in investment and financial analysis.

Economist Christopher Phelan Nominated by Trump for CEA Chair
If confirmed by the senate, Phelan will succeed Stephen Miran, who left the position last September to join the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Currently, Pierre Yared, the council's vice chairman, has been acting as interim leader of the CEA during the transition period. Phelan's extensive background in economics, particularly his expertise in central bank operations, is expected to complement Trump's commitment to shaping economic policies focused on lower interest rates. Phelan holds an undergraduate degree from Duke University and a doctorate from the University of Chicago. He is also a Fellow of the Econometric Society. His previous associations with the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, first as an economist and later as a consultant, position him as a strategic asset to Trump's economic agenda. This nomination highlights Trump's ongoing efforts to reinforce his economic team at a time when discussions surrounding monetary policy are increasingly prominent. Confirmation from the Senate is still pending to finalize Phelan's appointment. In a press release, the University of Minnesota congratulated Phelan on his nomination.
