The Centre for International Macroeconomic Studies (CIMS) in the School of Economics at the University of Surrey will hold a two-day Conference, September 14- 15 September, 2012.  Its purpose is  to present output and receive feedback from a distinguished group of discussants for a ESRC-financed research project, “ Monetary and Fiscal Policy Rules with Labour Market and Financial Frictions” led by members of CIMS. Researchers who have been involved in the project will present their findings.  Themes by the Conference will be: the effects of a fiscal stimulus or consolidation, monetary-fiscal policy interactions, monetary policy in models with a banking sector, macro-prudential regulation and some general issues in Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) modelling including endogenous long-term growth and factor substitutability.

In addition to these papers there will also be two keynote speakers Michel Juillard and Tommaso Monacelli, who have an outstanding record of research into dynamic macroeconomics and policy issues.

A conference dinner will be held at the end of the first day. There is no Conference fee, but participants must pay for accommodation costs and for the Conference dinner.

The conference will be preceded by a four-day  Dynare-based Summer School on “The Construction, Estimation and Use of DSGE Models'', 10 - 13 September.
