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 2008 conference will last for four days, from Tuesday, July 29, through Friday, August 1. The schedule will be quite intense, with about 15 talks. There will also be ample time for informal discussion among the participants. We hope that all participants will stay the entire week.

At the Macro Conference

 

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.

The organizers for the 2008 conference are Tim Kehoe (University of Minnesota) and Matthias Doepke (Northwestern University). If you are interested in presenting a paper, please send a copy to both of the organizers, (addresses below) by April 30. Electronic submissions are welcome as long as they are in a proper (and working) .pdf format.

We will be able to pay travel and housing expenses for all speakers.

Please feel free to pass news of this conference on to other potentially interested parties.
