Towards that end, join us for a special session with Carlo Altavilla (ECB), Wolfgang Lemke, and Massimo Rostagno (ECB), who will talk about monetary policymaking in the euro area in the first two decades of the ECB, drawing from their new book "Monetary Policy in Times of Crisis: A Tale of Two Decades of the European Central Bank" (Oxford University Press, with Giacomo Carboni, Roberto Motto, Arthur Saint Guilhem, and Jonathan Yiangou) and will then open a discussion on questions that still need answers, providing guidance on policy relevant research. The authors of the book will be online.
