ESSIM is an annual meeting that brings together about 75 economists from across Europe and key researchers from outside the region. It provides a unique opportunity for macroeconomists from different research institutions and countries to discuss research in a relaxed atmosphere and to develop...

The exchanges at the conference will combine the contribution of recent academic knowledge on the subject and the experience of both public and private practitioners to answer central issues of macroeconomic policy and financial regulation : - What role for macroeconomic policy in the management...

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in the measurement, modelling, evaluation and analysis of macroeconomic uncertainties, with a special emphasis on the effects of uncertainty on the global economy. Topics: - Various approaches to measuring uncertainty -...

The topics covered are likely to include: - an overview of aspects of the data justifying an analysis of financial frictions; - different ways of deviating from the frictionless benchmark: - costly state verification - collateral constraints - costly enforcement; - models of financial...

The following topics are likely to be covered: - the econometric modelling and forecasting of inflation and growth; - formulating and using varieties of mechanical, statistical, semi-structural and structural forecasting models; - forecasting at different forecast horizons; - tools for forecast...

The seminar will be taught from the perspective of the practitioner with the aim of discussing techniques that can improve upon classical econometric methods, or are more convenient alternatives. The topics covered are likely to include: - introduction to Bayesian analysis and Gibbs sampling; -...

The conference seeks to bring together academics and policy makers to discuss the aggregate implications of structural reforms, both from a theoretical and an empirical perspective. Topics: - The macroeconomic impact of structural reforms, both in the short and long run - The optimal timing of...
