European Summer Symposium in International Macroeconomics (ESSIM)

The 17th CEPR European Summer Symposium in International Macroeconomics (ESSIM) will take place from 11-14 May 2009. The meeting will be hosted by the Banque de France in Ragny. The organisers will be Giancarlo Corsetti (EUI, Rome III and CEPR), Per Krusell (Princeton, IIES, and CEPR), Jaume Ventura (CREI, Universitat Pompeu Fabra and CEPR) and Edouard Vidon (Banque de France).

ESSIM is an annual meeting that brings together about 60 economists from across Europe and key researchers from outside the region. It provides a unique opportunity for macroeconomists from different research institutions and countries to discuss research in a relaxed atmosphere and to develop long-term collaborative relationships. Another important aim of ESSIM is to provide young researchers with the opportunity to meet and discuss their work with senior economists.
