The Minnesota Workshop in Macroeconomic Theory is a workshop on dynamic macroeconomic theory sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the University of Minnesota and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. It is held on the campus of the University of Minnesota every summer in late July/early August.

The schedule will be quite intense. There will also be ample time for informal discussion among the participants. We hope that all participants will stay the entire week.

We welcome papers in a variety of areas. Examples of topics of interest include:

Asset Pricing from a General Equilibrium Perspective
Demographic Evolution and its Economic Determinants
Depressions and Crises
Dynamics of the Income Distribution
Dynamics of the Labor Market
Dynamics with Heterogeneous Agents
International Trade and Macroeconomics
Monetary Theory/Policy and Welfare
Politics and Growth
Search and Matching Theory and Applications
Technological Change and Growth
Theory of Organizations

We welcome papers in other areas as well. The final topics will be determined in large part by the interests of the participants. Note that while the title of the Workshop includes "Theory," investigations of data that are guided by theory are more than welcome.
