Workshop in Empirical Macroeconomics
Business Cycles in Times of Fragmentation and Uncertainty
Geopolitical fragmentation and unprecedented economic uncertainty are shaping current macroeconomic developments around the globe. This workshop aims to discuss topical research and recent advances in empirical macroeconomics, with a particular focus on challenges arising from the recent business cycle chronology and their implications for fiscal and monetary policy. We invite papers that push methodological and empirical frontiers by making innovative use of macro and/or micro data, as well as state-of-the-art methods.
