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

该项目包括由明尼苏达大学和明尼阿波利斯联邦储备银行在2003年、2004年和2005年夏季联合主办的一系列讲习班。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的理论问题。这些讲习班延续了2000-02年在明尼苏达大学和1990-99年在西北大学由国家科学基金会赞助的系列活动。根据参与者的研究兴趣，三年的具体主题将有所不同。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全的宏观经济后果，财政政策，商业周期，缺乏承诺的政府政策，具有不同主体的模型的分析方法，以及总量政策选择中的政治经济学问题。学术价值：本系列为研究广义理论宏观经济学中的实质性和方法论问题的研究人员提供了一个宝贵的论坛。它既为最近的论文提供了正式介绍和深入讨论的渠道，也为从事相关领域工作的研究人员提供了在研讨会之外进行非正式讨论的机会。更广泛的影响：组织者做出了协调一致的努力，每年选择将接触到广泛的理论宏观经济学家的项目委员会，项目委员会已经做出了巨大努力，以确定和纳入年轻的研究人员。这一系列研讨会是少数几个强调宏观经济学和动态经济模型理论方面的研讨会之一，并为代表不同知识传统的研究人员提供了一个有用的讨论机会。

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.
