The recent years in the aftermath of the last financial crisis saw many challenges for macroeconomics. New issues that were mostly neglected appeared at the forefront of concerns for policy makers and the academia, e.g. liquidity trap, crisis spillover, unconventional monetary policy, austerity measures, slow recoveries. In the light of these challenges, this session aims at putting together papers looking at such issues.

The main topics covered by the hereby call for papers are related to:

  • Business Cycles Models

  • Monetary Policy (Including post-crysis)

  • Fiscal Policy

  • The interaction between Fiscal and Monetary Policies

  • Aggregate Fluctuations

  • Macroeconomic effects of Financial Development

  • Open Macroeconomics

Petre Caraiani is Senior Researcher at the Institute for Economic Forecasting as well as a PhD advisor and professor at the School for Advanced Studies, Romanian Academy. His research focuses on modeling macroeconomic and financial phenomena with a focus on the links between the two. He has published many articles in peer-reviewed journals, including Economics Letters, Journal of Macroeconomics, Empirical Economics, Economic Modelling and International Review of Economics & Finance.
