July 2013

I have attended the 2013 SED meeting in Seoul. As good as always. This conference is by far my favorite one: a lot of good economics and a lot of fun. I presented my paper with Paul Beaudry, “Understanding Non-Inflationary Demand Driven Business Cycles”, in a session organized by Pontus Rendahl.

Here is the program of that session:

J’y ai présenté une partie d’un article avec Paul Beaudry qui fait un point sur la littérature sur les chocs de nouvelles (“News shocks“).
