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

9987657 jones这笔赠款将为明尼苏达大学和明尼阿波利斯联邦储备银行在2000年、2001年和2002年夏季联合举办的一系列研讨会提供资金。每个研讨会将持续一周，重点关注宏观经济学和动态经济建模的理论问题。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。除了位置的变化，这个系列与前一个非常相似。这三年的主题各不相同。2000年研讨会有望开展的领域包括：在没有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；寻找和匹配劳动力市场动态的模型。该系列讲习班第二和第三年的主题将在以后决定。可能包括的领域有：金融约束在影响企业进入、成长和退出方面的作用；异构agent模型分析的理论与计算方法总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.
