11 th Nordic Summer Symposium in Macroeconomics |
|
Smögen,
Sweden, August 9-12, 2017 |
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
Annette Vissing-Jorgensen, Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley
Venue
Smögen – an old fishing village half-way
between Olso and Göteborg. http://www.smogenshafvsbad.se/?lang=1033
Joint car rentals may be a good option. The drive from
Göteborg is two hours and from Oslo three hours.
Busses
from Göteborg are also available. We assume all
participants stay the whole conference arriving at lunch on
August 9 and leaving
lunch August 12.
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.
PROGRAM
The preliminary program
is here..
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.
