NBER Annual Macroeconomics Conference: Cambridge, Massachusetts, March 1992 and March 1993

这笔赠款为继续举办一系列关于宏观经济学的年度会议提供了支持。这些会议始于1986年，在检验新理论的经验含义以及使用相关理论分析当前感兴趣的政策问题方面做出了重大贡献。该系列会议将继续鼓励老牌和有前途的年轻经济学家撰写以经验为导向的论文。此外，该系列将继续作为宏观经济学不同学派经济学家之间交流的论坛。年度会议卷已成为被广泛引用和有影响力的研究参考。这个会议创建于1986年，目的是填补当时被认为是宏观经济研究中的一个主要问题，即研究前沿和政策问题之间日益扩大的差距。当时，年轻的经济学研究人员似乎很少进行实证研究，也很少深入研究他们的理论的实证含义。会议还讨论了宏观经济学中的另一个主要问题。宏观经济学领域似乎越来越多地分裂成不同的学派，这些学派之间并没有认真地进行交流。需要支持，这样成功的系列会议才能继续解决宏观经济学中的这些问题。

This grant provides support to continue a series of annual conferences on macroeconomics. These conferences, which started in 1986, have made a significant contribution to the testing of empirical implications of new theories as well as the use of relevant theory to analyze policy issues of current interest. The conference series will continue to encourage the writing of empirically oriented papers by both established and promising young economists. In addition, the series will continue to serve as a forum for communication among economists from the different schools of macroeconomics. The annual conference volume has become a widely cited and influential research reference. This conference was created in 1986 to fill what was then perceived to be a major problem in macroeconomic research, namely a widening gap between the research frontiers and policy issues. It seemed at the time that young researchers in economics were doing little empirical research and very rarely examining in any depth the empirical implications of their theories. The conference also addresses another major problem in macroeconomics. The field of macroeconomics appears increasingly to be splitting into different schools, which are not seriously communicating with each other. Support is needed so that this successful conference series can continue to address these problems in macroeconomics.
