Description:

The conference will focus on the new global challenges for international fiscal and monetary policy. Just three years after the recent pandemic, policy makers are confronted with a new set of global challenges. These include increasing geoeconomic fragmentation, regional conflicts and climate change, which come with a higher frequency and changing nature of shocks (e.g., demand vs. supply, transitory vs. permanent, local vs. global). Against the backdrop of – despite the recent decline – high inflation, volatile inflation expectations, and record-high levels of public debt amid rising interest rates this conference aims to showcase an outstanding set of academic contributions on how to design, calibrate and coordinate monetary and fiscal policies in today’s global economy.

The conference organizers seek both theoretical and empirical research contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,

  • the conduct of fiscal and monetary policy amid global supply shocks, tight labor markets, and heightened macroeconomic and political uncertainty
  • the international transmission channels of fiscal and monetary policy under geoeconomic fragmentation, and the interaction between monetary and fiscal stability
  • the international coordination of monetary, fiscal, and regulatory policies
  • the sustainability of public financing with rising interest rates, fiscal dominance, and
  • the long-term implications and trade-offs for monetary and fiscal policy.
