International Workshop: Theory and Experiments in Macroeconomics and Finance
The Department of Economics at John Cabot University will host a one-day international workshop in Theory and Experiments in Macroeconomics and Finance on June 19, 2019.
Lemon Tree Courtyard in Guarini Campus, John Cabot University
Since the financial crisis of 2008, macroeconomists have tried to better integrate the financial system into their macroeconomic models in order to shed light on the complex feedback loop between banks and the overall economy. In most recent decades, economists in all fields have increasingly relied on experiments to better understand human behavior and interactions between agents that are difficult to be observed or analyzed in the real economy. The papers that will be presented and discussed at the workshop by top scholars in the field from around the world represent cutting edge research in the exciting and growing area at the intersection of Macroeconomics and Finance, with a methodological emphasis on experiments.
The workshop is open to the JCU community and the general public. Participants are kindly asked to confirm their interest by email to [email protected] no later than June 15.
