13th Nordic Summer
Symposium in Macroeconomics |
|
|
Smögen, Sweden, August
7-10, 2019 |
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.
