McCallum-0820117Carnegie-Rochester Conference on Public PolicyThe Carnegie-Rochester conference series has a long record of generating and disseminating economic research by leading independent scholars that is genuinely policy-relevant. It is distinguished from other conference series by the extent to which it brings together academic researchers and analysts (and officials) from policymaking bodies such as the Federal Reserve system, foreign central banks (ECB, Bank of Japan, Bank of England, etc.), the U.S. Treasury and Commerce Departments, the IMF, and the World Bank. That it is effective in this role is evidenced by the number of past or future members of its formal Advisory Board that have recently (or currently) served in leading policymaking positions including Presidents of the Federal Reserve Banks of St. Louis and Philadelphia, Research Directors of the Federal Reserve Banks of Richmond and St. Louis, members of the Council of Economic Advisers, U.S. Treasury Undersecretary for International Economic Affairs, and Chair of the International Financial Institution Advisory Commission (U.S. Congress). Several non-Advisory Board authors have later taken similar positions, including four as Governors of non-U.S. central banks. Conference meetings are held twice each year, one at Carnegie-Mellon University (Pittsburgh) and one at the University of Rochester. About 40 participants (plus faculty and Ph.D. students of the host university) attend each meeting. Papers and discussants' comments were formerly published by Elsevier in a distinct series; currently each meeting's papers and discussions are published as special issues (two a year) of the Journal of Monetary Economics, a leading scholarly journal in economics. A web site is maintained by the University of Rochester. In terms of academic impact, the series of conference volumes has included numerous influential and widely-cited papers in monetary economics, macroeconomics, and international economics in addition to occasional volumes focusing on labor economics, public finance, and one on the economics of terrorism. Influential papers reflecting the conference?s emphasis on policy-relevant theoretical and/or empirical analysis include well-known items by Robert E. Lucas, Stanley Fisher, Michael Mussa, Torsten Persson and Guido Tabellini, Marvin Goodfriend, Kenneth Rogoff, and John B. Taylor. Two specific papers that deserve special mention are Lucas's "Econometric Policy Evaluation: A Critique" (1976) and Taylor's "Discretion versus Policy Rules in Practice" (1993), two of the most influential papers in monetary economics of the past 40 years. The editors and Advisory Board members actively promote participation by young members of the profession and outstanding scholars from institutions outside the group of leading departments. Recent conferences have made heavy and increasing use of an open Call for Proposals to generate papers for upcoming conferences. The ongoing trend toward economic research that is highly technical and abstract makes it increasingly important to provide an impetus, as the Carnegie-Rochester series does, for leading scholars to maintain and emphasize contact with actual policy problems faced in economies around the world.

McCallum-0820117罗彻斯特公共政策会议罗彻斯特会议系列在产生和传播真正与政策相关的领先独立学者的经济研究方面有着悠久的历史。 它与其他会议系列的区别在于，它汇集了来自联邦系统、外国中央银行（欧洲央行、日本银行、英格兰银行等）、美国财政部、商务部、国际货币基金组织和世界银行。 最近，其正式咨询委员会过去或未来的成员中，（或目前）担任领导决策职位，包括圣路易斯和费城联邦储备银行行长，里士满和圣路易斯联邦储备银行研究主任，经济顾问理事会成员，美国财政部负责国际经济事务的副部长，国际金融机构咨询委员会（美国国会）主席。 几位非顾问委员会的作者后来也采取了类似的立场，包括四位非美国央行行长。 会议每年举行两次，一次在匹兹堡大学，一次在罗切斯特大学。 大约40名参与者（加上教师和博士）主办大学的学生）参加每次会议。 论文和讨论者的评论以前由爱思唯尔以不同的系列出版;目前每次会议的论文和讨论都作为经济学领域领先的学术期刊《货币经济学杂志》的特刊（每年两期）出版。网站由罗切斯特大学维护。 在学术影响方面，该系列会议卷包括货币经济学，宏观经济学和国际经济学中许多有影响力和广泛引用的论文，以及偶尔关注劳动经济学，公共财政学和恐怖主义经济学的论文。 有影响力的论文反映了会议？的重点政策相关的理论和/或实证分析包括著名的项目罗伯特E。卢卡斯、斯坦利·费舍尔、迈克尔·穆萨、托尔斯滕·埃里森和圭多·塔贝里尼、马文·古德弗兰德、肯尼斯·罗格夫和约翰·B。Taylor. 值得特别提及的两篇论文是卢卡斯的《计量经济学政策评估：一种批判》（1976年）和泰勒的《实践中的自由裁量与政策规则》（1993年），这两篇论文是过去40年来货币经济学中最有影响力的论文。编辑和咨询委员会成员积极促进该专业的年轻成员和领导部门小组以外机构的杰出学者的参与。 最近的会议大量使用并越来越多地使用公开征集提案来为即将举行的会议生成论文。 经济学研究的高度技术性和抽象性的趋势使其越来越重要，因为它提供了一个动力，如伯奇-罗切斯特系列所做的，为领先的学者保持和强调与世界各地经济面临的实际政策问题的联系。
