Summer Workshop Series in Macroeconomic Theory and Dynamic Economic Modelling (2000, 2001, 2002)

9987657琼斯这笔赠款为明尼苏达大学和明尼阿波利斯联邦储备银行将在2000年、2001年和2002年夏季联合举办的一系列研讨会提供资金。每个研讨会为期一周，集中讨论宏观经济学和动态经济模型方面的理论问题。这些讲习班延续了1987年至1999年在西北大学举办的系列讲习班。除了位置上的变化外，这一系列与前一系列非常相似。这三年的主题各不相同。2000年研讨会看似有希望的领域包括：在缺乏承诺的情况下分析政府政策的理论和计算方法；收缩摩擦的宏观经济后果；以及劳动力市场动态的搜索和匹配模型。讲习班系列第二年和第三年的主题将在以后的日期决定。可能包括的领域包括：金融约束在影响企业进入、增长和退出中的作用；分析具有异质代理人的模型的理论和计算方法；总体政策选择中的政治经济学问题；以及金融市场在商业周期波动中的作用。

9987657JonesThis grant provides funding for a series of workshops to be hosted jointly by the University of Minnesota and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis during the summers of 2000, 2001 and 2002. Each workshop will be one week long, concentrating on theoretical issues in macroeconomics and dynamic economic modeling. These workshops continue the workshop series held from 1987 to 1999 at Northwestern University. Except for the change in location, this series is very similar to the previous one. The topics for the three years vary. Areas that look promising for the 2000 workshop include: theoretical and computational methods for analyzing government policy in the absence of commitment; macroeconomic consequences of contracting frictions; and searching and matching models of labor market dynamics. The topics for the second and third years of the workshop series will be decided at a later date. Areas likely to be included are: the role of financial constraints in affecting the entry, growth, and exit of firms; theoretical and computational methods for analyzing models with heterogeneous agent; political economy issues in the choice of aggregate policy; and the role of financial markets in business cycle fluctuations.
