The lags in the transmission mechanism of monetary policy mean that policymakers must forecast the future path of the economy. Accurate forecasts are only possible with a clear understanding of the structure of the economy and the shocks affecting it. This two-week seminar aims to improve...

Economists have traditionally focused on wages, pay-for-performance, and other formal, predominantly financial arrangements in explaining workplace performance, job satisfaction, and worker turnover. Inspired by empirical findings, both in economics and other branches of the social sciences,...

The aim of the conference is to bring together high-level researchers and to provide a ground for discussion on how to regulate and supervise banks in the post-crisis era. The main topics of the conference include systemic risk, systemically important financial institutions, risk management and...

This conference is open to all researchers who are interested in the relationship between real estate markets and capital markets. We welcome contributions in finance and economics, as well as in economic and urban geography, regional science, urban development planning, demography and...

This workshop will provide a forum for empirical researchers in the fields of health, education, and labor economics or related disciplines to discuss these issues. We are especially interested in the relationships between health and human capital. Health is a crucial determinant of the...

The general topic of this workshop is "International Business Cycles". The workshop provides a forum for discussions between young talented researchers and distinguished experts in their field of research. The programme will consist of lectures by experienced researchers and presentations by...

Computational advances have greatly facilitated the use of Bayesian estimation and simulation techniques. The main advantage of these techniques is that they provide precise results in small samples and allow researchers to incorporate off-model information into the estimation procedure. In...

Models are essential in developing rigorous, coherent and robust frameworks for economic analysis, thinking and policymaking in central banks. This one-week seminar focuses on the basics of economic modelling with a combination of lectures on introductory modelling theory and practical exercises...

Central banks rely increasingly on the empirical analysis of financial markets and the information contained therein to help them analyse the state of the macroeconomy, the impact of policy actions and to estimate the effects of risk. This one-week event will provide a rigorous overview of the...
