Summer Workshop Series in Macroeconomic Theory and Dynamic Economic Modeling (Minneapolias-MN, July 2009-2011)

该提案要求为明尼苏达大学和明尼阿波利斯联邦储备银行在2009年、2010年和2011年夏季联合主办的一系列讲习班提供资金。每个研讨会将举行四天，集中在宏观经济学和动态经济建模的理论问题。这些研讨会延续了NSF在2000-08年期间在明尼苏达大学和1990- 99年期间在西北大学主办的系列研讨会。近年来的主题包括：国际贸易和金融，异质性和不平等，劳动力市场行为，金融市场，住房市场，发展和金融一体化，货币政策，财政政策，长期增长，以及收缩摩擦的宏观经济后果。研究的智力价值：这个研讨会系列汇集了理论宏观经济学最好的初级和高级研究人员。因此，这是一个可以让年轻的研究者们与资深研究者们进行交流的平台。研究的广泛影响：本次系列会议的研究内容主要集中在当前宏观经济政策制定者们面临的许多基本问题（税制和货币政策的设计、声誉的重要性等）上。因此，它将对美国和欧洲未来的宏观政策设计产生广泛的影响。S.国内外

This proposal requests 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 2009, 2010 and 2011. Each workshop will meet for four days, 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 2000-08 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: international trade and finance, heterogeneity and inequality, labor market behavior, financial markets, housing markets, development and financial integration, monetary policy, fiscal policy, long run growth, and macroeconomic consequences of contracting frictions.Intellectual Merit of the Research: This workshop series brings together the best junior and senior researchers in theoretical macroeconomics. As such, it is a useful device for new, young researchers in the area to meet and get detailed comments from their senior colleagues to guide their future research.Broader Impact of the Research: The research presented in this conference series focuses on many of the fundamental questions facing macroeconomic policy makers currently (the design of the tax system and monetary policy, the importance of reputation, etc.). Thus, it will have a broad impact on the future design of macro policy both in the U. S. and abroad.
