8th Annual MMF PhD Conference
6 & 7 May 2021
Durham University Business School
Sponsored by the Money, Macro and Finance Society, the Bank of England, and the Centre for Macroeconomic Policy at Durham University Business School.
Virtual conference, hosted by the Centre for Macroeconomic Policy (CEMAP) at Durham University Business School.
Conference Description
The main objective of the workshop is to provide advanced PhD economists, about to go on the job market, with an opportunity to present their research to their peers and leading researchers in the field in order to obtain feedback and practice the presentation of their key research ideas. An added bonus is that it allows for some early dissemination of these ideas across the research and policy-making community. As well as senior academics, the conference will be attended by economists from the Bank of England and HM Treasury.
