Re: NBER Research Group on Macro Public Finance (MPF)
We are organizing a meeting of the new NBER research group on Macro
Public Finance (MPF). We will meet as part of the NBER's Summer
Institute in Cambridge, MA on Thursday July 21. This is the first of
what we hope will be many meetings, as it is our goal to establish
this group as a permanent venue for the discussion of research at the
intersection of dynamic macroeconomics and public finance. We aim to
bring together researchers who use modern dynamic macro models, often
with substantial household heterogeneity, to answer applied questions
in public finance.
We plan to have six papers during this day, with roughly one hour per
paper, which should allow for a great deal of discussion. We are
interested in papers that focus, broadly speaking, on issues such as:
- Income taxation over the life cycle
- Interaction of income taxation and human capital accumulation
- Efficient provision of social insurance when skills are
dynamically evolving over time
- Optimal intertemporal distortions
- Intergenerational risk sharing
We are writing to you because you may have a paper or extended
abstract appropriate for the program. (We prefer papers to
abstracts.) If you have a paper that you would like to present,
please upload a copy here by April 15, 2011:
http://www.nber.org/confsubmit/backend/cfp?id=SI11MPF.
Please feel free to forward this call for papers to colleagues who
may have a paper suitable for the program. We regret that, because of
resource constraints, it will likely be impossible to include all
submitted contribution on the program. Note that you will be
contacted only if your paper has been included on the program.
Invitations and logistical information for the meeting will be
distributed in late April. If you have any questions or need
additional information please contact Rob Shannon in the NBER's
Conference Department at 617/868-3900 or
<mailto:rshannon_at_nber.org>rshannon_at_nber.org. We look forward to
seeing you in Cambridge this summer
Sincerely
Dirk Krueger and Aleh Tsyvinski
