The IMF programme is one of the three successors to the old International Macroeconomics (IM) programme, along with Macroeconomics and Growth (MG) and Monetary Economics and Fluctuations (MEF).

Key areas covered are, inter alia:

  • international macroeconomics
  • international financial architecture
  • international crisis research
  • exchange rate and international capital flows research
  • other research related to international macroeconomic linkages and policies

Symposia

The IMF Programme has two regular events. The European Summer Symposium for International Macroeconomics (ESSIM) is held jointly with the MG and MEF programmes, and the IMF Symposium, which takes place once a year and rotates among hosting institutions.

Event Series

The European Summer Symposium in International Macroeconomics (ESSIM)

The European Summer Symposium for International Macroeconomics (ESSIM) is held jointly with the IMF, MG and MEF programmes. ESSIM, CEPR’s long-standing annual symposium for International Macroeconomics, brings together Europe's top macroeconomists with a few US-based scholars for an intensive and highly interactive four-day conference. There is no central theme for ESSIM rather researchers present their best, current research on macroeconomics.
