The Macroeconomic Risk and International Macroeconomics Chairs at Paris School of Economics are pleased to announce the 202 edition of the PSE Macro Days on the topic:
New risks and their implications for macroeconomic performance and policy
Recent years have seen the emergence of new risks in the world economy: New political tensions and military conflicts have broken trade and financial relations, and changed country risks and government fiscal needs. COVID 19 has underlined the vulnerability of health sectors and populations to pandemics and the lack of organised policy responses. The resurgence of populist policies has further increased the risk of economic fragmentation. Uncertainty about climate change and policy responses to it have created additional uncertainty. Partly following from this, commodity markets have been perturbed, trade linkages broken, and international supply chains have become less reliable. Surging inflation has challenged the ability of central banks to keep inflation and expecations about it at their target level. At the same time, increasing indebtedness of firms and households, as well as governments, has reduced the resilience of both private and public institutions in the face of this hightened uncertainty.
The organizers invite submissions of papers and extended abstracts on topics including, but not limited to:
The deadline for submissions is June 24. Decisions will be made by July 5.

- Fragmentation of markets
- The changed nature of inflation risk
- The populist challenge to economic policies
