Purpose: The ZEI International Summer School brings together young economists for a series of lectures covering the current frontiers of research in their area of interest and an opportunity for stimulating discussion and presentation of their own research to a group of international scholars.
Participants: Advanced doctoral students, post-docs, assistant professors and central bank economists.
Topics: Consumer heterogeneity, with applications studying business cycles and their welfare costs; the origins and evolution of consumer wealth inequality; asset pricing; the effects of fiscal policy; the effects of monetary policy; labor markets; earnings inequality; family formation and dissolution; and international finance. Country and regional heterogeneity, with applications studying global savings-investment correlations, the world TFP distribution, and global climate change. The macroeconomics of lumpy adjustment: microeconomic evidence on non-convex adjustment costs; distributional dynamics; DSGE models; menu-costs, Phillips curves and aggregate fluctuations; aggregate investment dynamics; time-varying impulse response functions.
Accommodation: The ZEI International Summer School will take place at a seminar center near Bonn (Haus Schlesien, Königswinter-Heisterbacherrott).
Cost: Participants are expected to pay for their own transportation. Room rates are € 87 per day including breakfast and lunch. The conference fee is € 1750. Stipends for academic participants are available.
Presentations: Presentations must be based on a paper, which has to be submitted for duplication by June 15.
