|
|
Hosted By:
Università di Bologna
Organizers:
Giacomo Calzolari and Marc Ivaldi
|
|
|
The conference series aims to contribute to an analytical understanding of the issues raised by competition and investment, develop empirical protocols and tests of economic models, promote the exchange and the dissemination of results at the forefront of research, and finally, evaluate current competition and regulation policies. It will cover the state of the art in applied and empirical industrial organization.
Glenn Ellison, MIT, Ali Hortaçsu, University of Chicago, Frank Verboven, K.U.Leuven have confirmed their participation as keynote speakers.
The conference will be preceded by the 10th CEPR School in Applied Industrial Organization, which will take place on 22nd of May 2013. The aim of the annual School is to provide a forum for intellectual exchanges between PhD students and more experienced researchers in the field of industrial organization. More senior researchers are invited to encourage their students to apply to the school. A separate invitation will be sent for the school in the following weeks.
Papers will be selected by a committee formed by the organisers and the members of the steering committee of the Applied IO Programme.
The steering committee includes Sofronis Clerides (University of Cyprus and CEPR), Peter J Davis (Compass Lexecon), Neil Gandal (Tel Aviv University and CEPR), David Genesove (Hebrew University of Jerusalem and CEPR), Marc Ivaldi (Toulouse School of Economics and CEPR), Margaret Kyle (Toulouse School of Economics and CEPR), Eugenio Miravete (University of Texas at Austin and CEPR), Martin Peitz (University of Toulouse and CEPR), Andrea Prat (LSE and CEPR), Katharine Rockett (University of Essex and CEPR), Frode Steen (Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration and CEPR), Otto Toivanen (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and CEPR), Frank Verboven (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and CEPR) and Nikolaos Vettas (Athens University of Economics & Business and CEPR) |

PP Symposium 2013
, Lugano

|
Hosted By:
Università della Svizzera Italiana
Organizers:
Vincenzo Galasso, Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez
|

The goal of the symposium is to provide a forum for high-quality work in public economics and to bring together economists in the field from across Europe as well as key researchers from outside the region. Paper proposals are invited in any area of public economics broadly defined (including tax and transfer policy, pension economics and finance, public goods, social insurance, income distribution, political economy, organisation in the public sector, and public policy issues more generally). Both theoretical and empirical work is welcome.
The event provides a unique opportunity for researchers from different universities and countries to discuss their work in a relaxed atmosphere and to develop long-term collaborative relationships. It also provides an opportunity for young researchers to meet and discuss their work with senior economists. |

Global Spillovers and Economic Cycles; A Euro Area Business Cycle Network (EABCN) Conference
, Paris
|
|

Hosted By:
Banque de France
Organizers:
Philippe Bacchetta, Laurent Ferrara, Jean Imbs and Massimiliano Marcellino

In an increasingly integrated global economy, assessing the propagation of shocks is becoming of major interest to the international economic cycles analysis. It is indeed challenging to evaluate the impact of certain types of shocks on global business cycles and to disentangle the various transmission channels, such as trade flows, financial linkages or confidence effects. This conference will focus on empirical and theoretical contributions providing an assessment of various spillover effects at a global level and new perspectives on structural analysis, forecasting and economic policy design and assessment. Possible topics include:
• The evaluation of changing trade and financial linkages across countries
• The macroeconomic effects of swings in commodity prices
• The cyclical relationships emerging-advanced countries
• The integration of financial spillovers in global macro and econometric models
• Theoretical and empirical analyses of the transmission of monetary and fiscal policy across countries
Ayhan Kose (IMF), Christopher Otrok (University of Missouri), Fabrizio Perri (Bocconi University and CEPR) and Lucrezia Reichlin (London Business School and CEPR) have already confirmed their participation, and we welcome further relevant submissions. Both theoretical and empirical papers are accepted, and applications on the euro area are particularly welcome.
The deadline for replies is 9am GMT on Monday February 25, 2013. Authors who are not CEPR members can email their submission to meets@cepr.org. Authors who are CEPR members can upload their submission on www.cepr.org/yourprofile. There you can indicate whether you will be able to cover your own travel costs, or whether you will require funding from CEPR. Guidelines on how to register online for CEPR Meetings can be found at http://www.cepr.org/meets/emo/Guidelines.htm. Authors of successful submissions and accepted participants will be notified by early April 2013 at the latest.
The event is hosted by the Banque de France, and sponsored by the EABCN in collaboration with the Paris School of Economics and the Pierre Werner Chair Programme of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at the European University Institute. Limited funding is available for travel expenses for academic participants presenting or acting as discussants. Expenses will be reimbursed according to the standard CEPR travel guidelines www.cepr.org/meets/WKCN/misc/trp.pdf. Costs will not be covered for central bank participants. |
