• Production networks and macroeconomic outcomes
• Monetary policy and labour market frictions
• Financial frictions and monetary policy
• Technological change and macro policy

Submit your paper by sending to the workshop administrator at [email protected]. Full papers are encouraged but we will also consider extended abstracts.

The deadline for submissions will be 24^th January 2025 although early submission is encouraged. We will notify authors by February 7^th.

Venue and Accommodation

The workshop will take place at the beautiful Castlecliffe building in St Andrews.  We have pre-booked accommodation which can be secured through us. Presenters will be required to cover travel and accommodation costs.  Thanks to the Scottish Economic Society, we have a budget to (partially) subsidize these costs for PhD students.

You are welcome to attend if you do not plan to present. There will be a fee of £100 (£60 for PhD students) which will include access to the workshop, coffee breaks, lunches and a workshop dinner. There is no fee for presenters.
