The Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), and the European Central Bank (ECB) are inviting submissions for their 2022 conference “WE_ARE_IN Macroeconomics and Finance”.

The aim of the conference is to bring together female experts who will present and discuss new
research on macroeconomics and finance which is of particular interest to central banks. We
welcome both empirical and theoretical contributions on topics including, but not limited to:
• Climate change and transition challenges
• Commodity prices, supply bottlenecks, relative price changes
• Origins and consequences of inflation, inflation dynamics
• Capital flows and macro-financial frameworks in emerging economies
• Monetary policy, normalization and quantitative tightening
• Macro and financial stability

The conference will foster interaction between junior and senior female economists across
academia and policy institutions.

PhD student poster session
We invite submissions from female PhD students to present in a poster session. Students who
plan to go on the market this coming fall are particularly encouraged to submit.

Policy panel
A policy panel on “Inflation is back: why and what next?” will take place on the first day of the
conference.

WE_ARE_IN stands for Women in Economics: Advancing Research in Economics Internationally. It brings together two initiatives WE_ARE and WiM, which are based in Europe and the United States.

WE_ARE is a CEPR seminar series in which junior women present their work and receive constructive feedback from their peers and from senior women. WiM is an annual conference organised, with the support of the Becker Friedman Institute, by Marina Azzimonti (Stony Brook University and CEPR), Alessandra Fogli (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and CEPR), and Veronica Guerrieri (University of Chicago, Booth School of Business and CEPR) that features the work of Women in Macro and creates opportunities to strengthen their research and expand their networks.
