Bonn–Oxford–European Commission Macro Workshop: Uneven Impacts of Geoeconomic Shifts
Date: 3 Dec 2026 - 4 Dec 2026 Location: Brussels, European Commission Contact: EC-Bonn-Oxford-MacroWorkshop-2026@ec.europa.eu Workshop Overview Theme: Geoeconomic fragmentation, trade policies, global imbalances, and shifts in energy markets affect economies in uneven ways, with important implications for Europe. This workshop brings together researchers and policymakers to examine how macroeconomic models and data with sectoral and household heterogeneity can better capture the propagation of such shocks across industries, countries, and income groups, as well as their interaction with policy. The objective is to assess how frontier research with explicit heterogeneity can strengthen policy analysis along these dimensions. We invite submissions of high-quality papers addressing these themes, including (but not limited to): geoeconomic fragmentation and trade, energy price shocks, economic security, global imbalances, heterogeneous-agent macro models, European integration, sectoral reallocation, and policy design in an open economy context. Due to limited presentation slots, only a small number of papers will be selected. Yan Bai (U of Rochester, CUHK, CEPR), Diego Perez (NYU) and Elisa Rubbo (U of Chicago) have confirmed their participation. We are looking forward to your submissions! Submission details Please submit full papers or extended abstracts by 30 June 2026 via our submission platform. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by 21 July 2026. Logistics The workshop will take place in Brussels at the European Commission over two half days (3-4 December 2026). Travel and accommodation costs will be covered for presenters from academic institutions; funding for other participants can be considered on a case-by-case basis. Organisers Christian Bayer (U of Bonn, CEPR), Olga Croitorov (EC, DG ECFIN), Julia Le Blanc (EC JRC, CPER), Philipp Pfeiffer (EC, DG ECFIN), Marco Ratto (EC, JRC), Federica Romei (U of Oxford, CEPR)

Academic position in Information Systems Engineering
Research You are an ambitious, internationally oriented researcher in the domain of information systems engineering. You publish in international top journals within the field, attract external research funding, develop international research projects, and advise doctoral students. You strive for excellence in research and as such contribute to the reputation of the Faculty of Economics and Business and KU Leuven. You have an outspoken interest in fundamental scientific research and perceive opportunities for valorization of research findings and applied research. Teaching You teach courses in the field of information systems engineering at the campuses in Leuven, Brussels and Kortrijk, and in the future possibly on campus Antwerp. When assigning courses, we take as much as possible your profile and experience into account.

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
