| The first Midwest Mathematical Economics Meeting, organized by Rich Kihlstrom in collaboration with Len Mirman and Andy Postlewaite, was held in 1974, starting a tradition that continues to this day, with conferences twice each year. Since 1981 the Meetings have been held in conjunction with those of the Mid-West International Economics Group. Increasingly popular, these meetings attract many of the profession's top researchers, not just from the Midwest, but from both coasts and abroad. We hope you will join us this April.

In the past thirty years, macroeconomics has undergone a radical transformation. Its tools were then primarily empirical as researchers analyzed the properties of large-scale forecasting models, as applied to aggregate data. Its focus was largely on monetary and fiscal policy, and their impact on inflation, unemployment, and Gross National Product. Now, macroeconomists use a robust blend of sophisticated theory and rich data analyses. Their scope of research has exploded. Macroeconomic research is now a huge part of labor economics, political economy, international trade, and industrial organization. Macroeconomics is no longer a field unto itself, but a way of thinking that can attack problems of interest in all fields. The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and the University of the Minnesota have been at the forefront of this transformation. The aim of the conference was to bring together frontier work in this larger vision of macroeconomics. |

In 1978, John Kareken and Neil Wallace of the University of Minnesota organized a conference on monetary economics at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. The conference proceedings were published as a book by the Bank under the title of “Models of Monetary Economies”. Most of the articles, and many of the discussions of the articles, became instant classics. “Models of Monetary Economies” set the agenda and terms of discussion for monetary economics over the next quarter century.
On May 21-22, 2004, the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota hosted a follow-up conference, “Models of Monetary Economies II: The Next Generation.” The agenda for the conference is described in its title: to present the latest developments in theoretical monetary economics. The conference organizers were Narayana Kocherlakota, Stanford University, and Randall Wright, University of Pennsylvania. |
