WE_ARE Macroeconomics and Finance
Frankfurt, 4 - 5 November 2021
Submission deadline – Friday 4 June 2021
Welcome Address by Christine Lagarde
The Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) and the European Central Bank (ECB) are inviting submissions for their 2021 conference "WE_ARE_IN Macroeconomics and Finance"?
The conference aims to bring together female experts to present and discuss new research on macroeconomics and finance of particular interest to central banks. We welcome both empirical and theoretical contributions, on topics including, but not limited to, monetary policy, financial stability and international finance.
The conference will foster interaction among junior and senior female economists across academia and policy institutions.
WE_ARE_IN stands for Women in Economics: Advancing Research in Economics Internationally. It brings together two initiatives WE_ARE and WiM, based respectively in Europe and the US. WeE_ARE is a CEPR seminar series where junior women present their work and get constructive feedback from their peers and from senior women. WiM is an annual conference that features the work of Women in Macro and creates opportunities to strengthen their research and build their network.
Policy Panel:
A policy panel on “Rebuilding after COVID: Central Banking in Support of Society and a New Social Contract” will take place on the first day of the conference, moderated by Stephanie Flanders and with the following panellists confirmed:
- Isabel Schnabel (ECB and CEPR)
