This year’s NoEG will feature dozens of parallel sessions, keynotes by Claudia Steinwender (LMU Munich) and Maximilian Kasy (U Oxford) and an expert panel discussion on “Economics in Times of Uncertainty”. We hope to see you in Salzburg!

Tobias Scheckel, PhD student at the PLUS Department of Economics, recently participated in the Macroeconometrics Summer School organized by the Barcelona School of Economics. He reflects upon an experience of “great new insights and impulses”.

Christiane Baumeister, the Lambert Family Professor and Co-Chair of the Department of Economics at the University of Notre Dame, visited our department from July 10th to 13th. During her visit, Christiane actively collaborated with members of the PLUS Department of Economics on projects involving the integration of micro and macroeconomic data in econometric models, as well as nonparametric techniques for oil price forecasting.
