Economic Fluctuations and Growth Conference

这个奖资助了一个宏观经济学会议。PI正在召集一批顶尖学者讨论正在进行的研究。会议既有知名学者，也有新兴学者，它为宏观经济学不同领域之间的交流提供了一个重要的机会。参与者是从500多份提交的论文中选出的。这些会议也对研究生和政策制定者开放。研究人员将从获得对其研究的早期反馈的机会中受益。更广泛的影响包括促进经济科学中代表性不足的群体；会议组织者正在与美国经济学会（American Economic Association）赞助的指导项目合作，邀请来自弱势群体的有前途的研究生和初级学者。提出的许多研究都与宏观经济政策决定有关。

This award funds a conference in macroeconomics. The PI is bringing together a group of leading scholars to discuss research in progress. The conference includes both established and emerging scholars, and it provides an important opportunity for cross-fertilization between different areas of macroeconomics. Participants were chose from over 500 paper submissions. The meetings are also open to graduate students and policy-makers. Researchers will benefit from the opportunity to get early feedback on their research.Broader impacts include promoting under-represented groups in economic science; the conference organizers are working together with mentoring programs sponsored by the American Economic Association to invite promising graduate students and junior scholars from under represented groups. Much of the research presented is relevant for macroeconomic policy decisions.
