Summer Workshop Modeling (July 2003,2004,2005 Minneapolis, MN)

该项目包括一系列讲习班，将于2003年、2004年和2005年夏季由明尼苏达大学和明尼阿波利斯联邦储备银行联合主办。每个研讨会为期一周，集中在宏观经济学和动态经济建模的理论问题。这些讲习班是国家科学基金会2000- 2002年在明尼苏达大学和1990- 1999年在西北大学主办的系列讲习班的继续。 三年的具体主题将根据参与者的研究兴趣而有所不同。近年来的主题包括：货币理论，劳动力市场动态的搜索和匹配模型，技术变革和技术采用，资产定价，收缩摩擦和金融市场不完整性的宏观经济后果，财政政策，商业周期，缺乏承诺的政府政策，分析模型的方法与异质代理人，以及总政策选择中的政治经济问题。智力优势：该系列为研究广义理论宏观经济学实质性和方法论问题的研究人员提供了一个有价值的论坛。它既为正式介绍和深入讨论最近的论文提供了一个渠道，也为从事相关领域工作的研究人员在研讨会室外进行非正式讨论提供了一个机会。更广泛的影响：组织者做出了共同努力，每年选择计划委员会，将达到广泛的理论宏观经济学家，计划委员会已经做出了巨大努力，以确定和包括年轻的研究人员。本系列研讨会是为数不多的强调宏观经济学和动态经济建模理论方面的研讨会之一，为代表不同知识传统的研究人员提供了一个有益的讨论机会。

This project consists of a series of workshops to be hosted jointly by the University of Minnesota and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis during the summers of 2003, 2004 and 2005. Each workshop is one week long, concentrating on theoretical issues in macroeconomics and dynamic economic modeling. These workshops continue the series sponsored by the NSF at the University of Minnesota during 2000-02 and at Northwestern University during 1990-99. Specific topics for the three years will vary, depending on research interests of the participants. Topics in recent years have included: monetary theory, searching and matching models of labor market dynamics, technical change and technology adoption, asset pricing, macroeconomic consequences of contracting frictions and financial market incompleteness, fiscal policy, business cycles, government policy in the absence of commitment, methods for analyzing models with heterogeneous agents, and political economy issues in the choice of aggregate policy. Intellectual Merit: This series has provided a valuable forum for researchers working on substantive and methodological issues in theoretical macroeconomics, broadly defined. It has provided both an outlet for the formal presentation and intensive discussion of recent papers and an opportunity for informal discussions outside the seminar room among researchers working in related areas. Broader Impact: The organizers have made a concerted effort to choose program committees each year that will reach a broad spectrum of theoretical macroeconomists, and the program committees have made a strong effort to identify and include young researchers. This workshop series is one of the few with an emphasis on the theoretical side of macroeconomics and dynamic economic modeling, and provides a useful opportunity for discussions among researchers representing somewhat distinct intellectual traditions.
