2nd Annual Labor Markets and Macroeconomic Outcomes

This workshop is co-sponsored by Stony Brook University and will take place in Santa Barbara at the Upham Hotel. This year’s workshop has a dual track focus. First, we are seeking papers which focus on cyclical labor market outcomes. Second, we also seek papers which grapple with relationships between labor market outcomes and other household decisions, such as expenditure, savings, or home production. Particular consideration will be given to papers exploring any of the above topics using novel datasets and/or explicitly-axiomatized micro-founded structural mechanisms.

The conference organizers are Adam Blandin (Assistant Professor, Vanderbilt University), Ben Griffy (Assistant Professor, University at Albany), Nick Pretnar,(Postdoctoral Scholar, UCSB-LAEF), and David Wiczer (Associate Professor, Stony Brook University). Several presenters have been confirmed for this conference, including Stefania Albanesi, Nir Jaimovich, and Dirk Krueger.
