The purpose of the Workshop is to focus on specific challenges around measuring performance in education and other public services sectors. The Workshop will bring together scholars from various disciplines and fields to debate the present and future challenges in education and public sector...

The goal of this workshop is to discuss recent developments on the implications of the rise of intangible technologies. We are particularly interested in theoretical and empirical work on the interplay between the rise of intangibles, firm dynamics, and industry-level and aggregate outcome. We...

Under what conditions structural macroeconomic shocks can be identified with empirical time series models? Several influential papers have shown that, in many theoretical models, Structural VAR analysis is unable to correctly esimate the economic shocks of interest and their propagation...

This workshop focuses on the macroeconomic implications of micro-level frictions, such as adjustment costs, informational rigidities, search and matching frictions, costly reallocation, irreversibility, taxation, among others. Topics of particular interest include price and wage setting, capital...

In this two days workshop we want to bring together researchers working in two still quite separate fields, computational economics and experimental economics, which, however, in recent years have seen a steady increase of fruitful interaction. For example, the Handbook of Computational...

This workshop aims at discussing research on the frontier of macro labor economics. We encourage theoretical and empirical submissions from all macro labor areas, including, but not limited to, discrimination in the labor market, search and matching, interactions between family and the labor...

How does market power affect labor market outcomes? This workshop invites papers on market power in the goods market and monopsony power in the labor market, with particular emphasis on the macroeconomic implications. Work on the intersection of macro/labor and IO and both theoretical and...

The goal of this workshop is to discuss recent developments on the identification of the real effects of financial frictions. We are particularly interested in applied theoretical and empirical work using micro data on the interplay between financial institutions, financial shocks and their...

This workshop invites cutting edge research that tries to forecast rare negative events using quantitative methods of evaluating risk. We explicitly invite researchers from all fields, inside and outside of academia and using methods spanning from expert opinion to machine learning. The goal of...

The past ten years has seen an explosion of interest in large and heterogeneous datasets and the statistical and computational techniques needed to handle them. Most of the innovation in this area has come in statistics and computer science departments, but recently economists have also begun to...
