CALL FOR PAPERS TO 9th Nordic Summer
Symposium in Macroeconomics |
|
Smögen, Sweden, August
5-8, 2015 Deadline for
submissions is April 25, 2015. |
OBJECTIVE
The symposium is an academic research
conference in the area of macroeconomics. It is primarily aimed at promoting
frontier contributions by junior macroeconomic researchers. A connection to the
Nordic countries is an advantage but not a prerequisite. The symposium allows
the junior researchers to present and discuss their research and to receive
advice and constructive criticism from more senior macroeconomic scholars.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Claudio Michelacci,
CEMFI Madrid
TOPICS
Papers on all topics broadly associated with
macroeconomics are welcome including "standard" macroeconomic
analysis (real and monetary business cycles, labor markets, growth etc.) and issues
such as public finance, human capital accumulation, firm dynamics, asset
pricing, heterogeneous agents, income distribution, credit markets and
political economy.
PRESENTATION FORMAT
35 minutes presentation, 15 minutes discussion
and 10 minutes general discussion for each paper.
PROGRAM
Program 2015.
VENUE
The conference venue is Smögens
hafvsbad in beautiful Smögen
on the Swedish westcoast. The only disadvantage is
transportation. It is located 250 km south of Oslo international airport. An
alternative is to go to Gothenburg with a trainstation
and a smaller airport, 150 km south of Smögen. A From
Gothenburg there are buses but a shared rental care may be something to
consider both from Oslo and Gothenburg. It is possible to drive from Stockholm,
but count on 6 hours. Renting a car at e.g., Gothenburg airport should be
approximately 150 euros, which is OK if you share 3-4 people. Oslo is more
expensive so check with us first. Please sign up for the Normac
Facebook group to coordinate on sharing cars.
WHO SHOULD APPLY
The conference is primarily created to promote
and facilitate the work of junior researchers. Researchers with an interest in
or connection to the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and
Sweden) are particularly appreciated but the call is open to all junior
applicants. Junior refers to those about to graduate from a PhD program,
assistant professors, and recently tenured senior professors.
