Macroeconomics Across Time and Space: Call for Papers
Jeremy Greenwood (UPenn & NBER), Lee E. Ohanian (UCLA & NBER) and
Peter Rupert (Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland)
A new EFG working group on Macroeconomics Across Time and Space has
been recently approved by the NBER. The aim of the group is to bring
together the large number of researchers in aggregate economics using
modern dynamic theory to investigate substantive historical questions.
These questions range from, but in no way are limited to, the study of
great depressions, to industrial revolutions, to the diffusions of new
technologies, to secular shifts in hours worked and leisure, to
long-run trends in marriage, womens labor supply and fertility, to
the impact of institutions on economic growth, to the rise in
urbanization, to the growth and location of business, to the westward
expansion of the United States, to analyses of free banking, and to
medieval monetary economics. We welcome all submissions that blend
dynamic economic theory with questions of long-standing interest.
The inaugural meeting will take place at the Federal Reserve Bank of
Cleveland on May 18th and 19th. Those interested in presenting at the
conference should submit a pdf file of their paper on the conference
web site.

The deadline for submission is April 8th. No submissions will be
considered after this date. Do not reply to the above inactive email
address. If you have any questions, please contact Peter Rupert at
confer@clev.frb.org
Please feel free to forward this announcement to all those who might
be interested.
