2015 Melbourne Institute Macroeconomic Policy Meetings
The Melbourne Institute Macroeconomic Policy Meetings aim to foster discussion on "hot issues" in macroeconomic policy by involving leading scholars conducting research with state-of-the-art theoretical and/or empirical tools. The Meetings are organized by the Macro Unit working at the Melbourne Institute.
The first edition of the Meetings took place on October 15-16, 2015. It had a focus on macroprudential policy, but it also featured papers dealing with macroeconomic policy in a broader sense.
The final version of the 2015 program is available.
