Carnegie-Rochester Conference on Public Policy

卡内基-罗切斯特公共政策会议卡内基-罗切斯特会议系列在产生和传播由领先的独立学者进行的真正与政策相关的经济研究方面有着长期的记录。它与其他系列会议的不同之处在于，它将来自美联储系统、外国中央银行(欧洲央行、日本银行、英格兰银行等)、美国财政部和商务部、国际货币基金组织和世界银行等决策机构的学术研究人员和分析师(以及官员)聚集在一起。其正式咨询委员会的过去或未来成员最近(或目前)担任主要决策职位的数量证明了这一点，这些成员包括圣路易斯和费城联邦储备银行行长、里士满联邦储备银行和圣路易斯联邦储备银行研究主任、经济顾问委员会成员、美国财政部负责国际经济事务的副部长和国际金融机构咨询委员会(美国国会)主席。几位非咨询委员会的作者后来也采取了类似的立场，其中包括四位担任非美国央行行长的人。会议每年举行两次，一次在卡内基-梅隆大学(匹兹堡)，一次在罗切斯特大学。每次会议约有40名与会者(加上主办大学的教职员工和博士生)。论文和讨论者的评论以前是由爱思唯尔以不同的系列发表的；目前，每次会议的论文和讨论都作为特刊(每年两期)发表在领先的经济学学术期刊《货币经济学杂志》上。一个网站由罗切斯特大学负责维护。在学术影响方面，系列会议卷包括许多在货币经济学、宏观经济学和国际经济学方面有影响力和被广泛引用的论文，此外还偶尔有侧重于劳工经济学、公共财政和一本关于恐怖主义经济学的论文。反映会议的有影响力的论文？S强调与政策相关的理论和/或实证分析，包括罗伯特·E·卢卡斯、斯坦利·费舍尔、迈克尔·穆萨、托尔斯滕·佩尔松和吉多·塔贝里尼、马文·古德弗兰德、肯尼斯·罗格夫和约翰·B·泰勒的著名论文。值得特别提及的两篇具体论文是卢卡斯的《计量经济学政策评估：批判》(1976年)和泰勒的《审慎与实践中的政策规则》(1993)，这两篇论文是过去40年来货币经济学中最有影响力的两篇论文。编辑和咨询委员会成员积极推动行业青年成员和领导部门组外机构的杰出学者参与。最近的会议大量并越来越多地使用公开征集提案的方式，以便为即将举行的会议编写文件。经济研究的高度技术性和抽象性的持续趋势，使得提供动力越来越重要，就像卡内基-罗切斯特系列所做的那样，让领先的学者保持并强调与世界各地经济体面临的实际政策问题的联系。

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.
