NBER: Call for papers
Subject: Call for papers
From: Paolo.Pesenti@ny.frb.org
Date: Thu Mar 24 2005 - 16:10:47 EST
Dear all,
this email is to inform you of a conference on "Quantitative evaluation of stabilization policies" that Mike Woodford, Michel Juillard and myself are organizing at Columbia
University on September 23-24. The goal of this conference is to present and discuss recent developments
in the use of quantitative structural models to simulate and evaluate
alternative monetary and fiscal policies. The conference will emphasize
models with optimizing foundations that are parameterized to match
features of economic time series. Examples of the issues that we would
like to address include methods of econometric estimation and tests of the
empirical fit of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models, ways of
taking into account parameter and model uncertainty in policy evaluation
exercises, the welfare consequences of stabilization policies, and the
degree to which simple rules can approximate a fully optimal policy. We
welcome analyses of stabilization policy in both closed and open
economies.
The call for papers can be found at: http://www.newyorkfed.org/research/conference/2005/quantitative.html The deadline for submissions is April 25.
Feel free to forward this email to colleagues who may be interested in
attending and presenting.
All the best
Paolo
