In this workshop we will first focus on how labor market frictions and institutions affect fluctuations of major macroeconomics aggregates such as consumption, wages and GDP growth.
Secondly, we will explore how new developments in central banking practises and financial markets affect the stability and efficiency of the economic system overall.
