Macroeconomics Across Time and Space
(Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and the NBER)
May 23?24, 2008, Philadelphia, PA
The second annual meeting of the ?Macroeconomics Across Time and
Space? working group will be held at the Federal Reserve Bank of
Philadelphia on May 23 and 24, 2008. 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. These questions cover, but in no way are limited to, the
study of great depressions; industrial revolutions; the diffusions of
new technologies; secular shifts in hours worked and leisure; long-run
trends in marriage, women?s labor supply, and fertility; the impact of
institutions on economic growth; the rise in urbanization; the growth
and location of business; the westward expansion of the United States;
analyses of banking and credit arrangements; and medieval monetary
economics.
