7th Nordic Summer
Symposium in Macroeconomics |
|
Smögen, Sweden, August 7-10, 2013 Main funding
from Svenska Handelsbanken |
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
Silvana Tenreyro, London School of Economics
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
Preliminary
program.
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.
