6-7 June 2024 at the University of Zurich
During this two-day workshop, we explored state-of-the-art methods and models in Quantitative Macroeconomics with top experts in our field.
We gathered individuals working at the forefront of new methods and models in macroeconomics and finance, fostering discussion and collaboration. It was a very insightful and active workshop, with lots of questions and lively debates among speakers and audience. The renowned speakers also interacted with attending PhD students from the University of Zurich (UZH) and gave them lots of advice and feedback on their research.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to Thomas Sargent (Nobel Prize Laureate, Professor of Economics, New York University), who gave a keynote speech on the topic of "Macroeconomics After Lucas". In this talk, he reviewed the progress that macroeconomists have made in developing methods and theories over the past 50 years. He delivered an outstanding presentation that sparked a lot of discussion during the conference and dinner. Many speakers believe that the lecture should become a required learning material for first-year PhD students in Economics and Finance in the future. The keynote speech was recorded, and Thomas Sargent kindly agreed that we are allowed to publish it soon.
Thomas Sargent also attended a "PhD luncheon", where PhD Students from the Department of Finance had the opportunity to present their theses and thoughts, and to gather feedback and insights from our esteemed guest.
