NBER and Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia
Organizers: Jeremy Greenwood and Lee Ohanian (NBER), Marina Azzimonti
and Satyajit Chatterjee (FRB Philadelphia)
The sixth annual meeting of the Macroeconomics Across Time and Space
working group will be held at the Federal Reserve Bank of
Philadelphia on May 18 and 19, 2012. The aim of the group is to bring
together the large number of researchers in aggregate economics who
are using modern dynamic theory to investigate substantive historical
questions. Research presented at past meetings covered a very broad
range of topics, including great depressions; industrial revolutions;
the diffusion of new technologies; secular shifts in hours worked and
leisure; long-run trends in marriage, women's labor supply, and
fertility; the connection between the formation and dissolution of
institutions and the economy; the rise in urbanization; trends in
international trade and capital flows; the growth and location of
business; and the evolution of finance and its role in economic development.
