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
Guido Menzio, University of Pennsylvania
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

WHO SHOULD APPLY

facilitate the work of junior researchers. Researchers with an interest in or

applicants. Junior refers to those about to graduate from a PhD program,
assistant professors, and recently tenured senior professors.
