The objective of this event is to bring together academic researchers and policy makers to present and discuss cutting edge research on various aspects related to inflation. We welcome submissions of papers and extended abstracts addressing the following topics: inflation measurement; inflation...

The recent trade disputes and the technological rivalry between the US and China make the effects of trade policy one of the most relevant economic subject areas. We employ a multi-country, multi-sector general equilibrium modelling framework with imperfect competition and heterogeneous firm...

Highly interconnected global supply chains make countries vulnerable to supply chain disruptions. In this paper, we estimate the macroeconomic effects of global supply chain shocks for the euro area. Our empirical model combines business cycle variables with data from international container...

In light of the recent tit-for-tat trade dispute between China and the US, interest in quantifying the effects of the so-called phase one agreement has risen. To this end, the paper quantifies the impact of the asymmetric managed trade agreement using such a multi-country open-economy dynamic...

We seek both empirical and theoretical policy-relevant papers. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: - Interactions between commodity prices and the macroeconomy - Macroeconomic effects of shocks to the terms-of-trade - Business-cycle spillovers and international co-movement -...

The conference aims to provide researchers and policymakers an opportunity to present theoretical and empirical research related to the subdued global growth performance. Of particular relevance are the implications for global linkages and monetary policies in an environment of high economic and...

This conference will provide an opportunity for researchers to discuss a wide range of theoretical and empirical issues regarding the future of monetary policy design. Topics of particular interest include the optimal level of inflation, the zero bound on nominal interest rates, price-level...
