Carnegie-Rochester Conference on Public Policy: 1990-1991 being held at Pittsburgh, PA and Rochester, NY in April 1990 - November 1990 and April 1991

卡内基-罗切斯特公共政策会议旨在促进学术界和政策制定机构的经济学家对重大政策问题的研究和讨论。大学中的经济学家往往不熟悉制度安排在政策问题和政策形成中的制约作用。政府中的经济学家往往对当前的研究及其影响知之甚少。会议的一个中心目的是促进这些群体之间的互动，以便改进对政策问题和政策的经济分析。会议的具体目的是：1)发展最近的研究对政策的影响；2)将具有不同方法或结论的经济学家聚集在一起，以缩小分歧；3)揭示制定政策的机构所使用的分析。会议每半年在罗切斯特大学和卡内基梅隆大学举行一次。每个会议邀请约45名与会者，外加主办机构的教职员工和研究生。来自美国和外国中央银行以及美国和国际机构的与会者定期出席。我们特别注意让有前途的年轻学者参与进来。对文件和正式讨论进行编辑和准备，以便出版，以扩大会议的影响。应继续支持这一成功和有影响力的系列会议。该系列会议通过为政策和方法辩论提供定期论坛，确定和委托这些辩论的主要人物的论文，并及时发布会议结果来促进研究。现代宏观经济学中一些最有影响力的论文是为卡内基-罗切斯特会议撰写的。卡内基-罗切斯特法案保持了活力和效力。这一系列会议的最新论文的质量非常高。

The Carnegie-Rochester Conference on Public Policy is designed to foster research and discussion of major policy issues by economists from academia and policy making institutions. Economists in universities are often unfamiliar with the constraining effect of institutional arrangements in the shaping of policy issues and policies. Economists in government are often less aware of current research and its implications. A central purpose of the conference is to facilitate the interaction between these groups in order to improve the economic analysis of policy issues and policy. The specific aims of the conference are to: 1) develop the implications of recent research for policy; 2) bring together economists with different approaches or conclusions to narrow the differences; and 3) to uncover the analysis used by institutions that set policies. The conferences are held semi-annually at the University of Rochester and Carnegie-Mellon University. About 45 participants plus faculty and graduate students from the host institution are invited to each conference. Participants from U.S. and foreign central banks and U.S. and international agencies attend regularly. Special care is taken to involve promising younger scholars. The papers and formal discussions are edited and prepared for publication to broaden the impact of the conference. Support should be renewed for this successful and influential conference series. The conference series stimulates research by providing a regular forum for policy and methodological debates, identifying and commissioning papers from the leading figures in these debates, and publishing the results of the conference in a timely fashion. Some of the most influential papers in modern macroeconomics were written for Carnegie-Rochester conferences. Carnegie-Rochester retains its vitality and its effectiveness. The quality of the most recent papers from this conference series has been exceptionally high.
