Objective

The symposium is an academic research conference in the area of macroeconomics and finance, primarily aimed at promoting frontier contributions by junior macroeconomic researchers. The symposium allows the junior researchers to present and discuss their research and to receive advice and constructive feedback from more senior macroeconomic scholars.

Who Should Apply: junior researchers in macroeconomics

“Junior” refers to those about to graduate from a PhD program, assistant professors, and recently tenured senior professors. A connection to the Nordic countries is an advantage but not a prerequisite.

Topics

Papers on all topics broadly associated with macroeconomics are welcome – including “standard” macroeconomic analysis (real and monetary business cycles, labor markets, growth etc.), as well as issues such as public finance, human capital accumulation, firm dynamics, asset pricing, heterogeneous agents, income distribution, credit markets and political economy.

Location and Travel

Solstrand Hotel lies on the shores of Bjørnefjorden, 30km south of Bergen, Norway.

The hotel is in Os. Get to Os by ferry from Bergen Airport (Flesland) or by local bus from Bergen bus station. Solstrand is walking distance (or a short taxi trip) from “downtown” Os.
