American Job Market, AEA, Atlanta, January 4-5-6, 2019

As the chair of the UCL junior recruiting committee for this year, I will attend the AEA job market in Atlanta on January 4-5-6, 2019.

European Job Market, EEA, Naples, December 7 and 8, 2018

As the chair of the UCL junior recruiting committee for this year, I attended the EEA job market in Naples on December 7 and 8, 2018. We conducted two days of interviews and talked with many great job market candidates. Duplicating recruiting interviews (EEA and then AEA in Atlanta in January 2019) is a bit of a tax, but it was worth the cost. Let’s see how things will evolve. European universities might in the future only interview in Europe if candidates from all over the world do attend both the European and AEA meeting. And candidates from all over the world might eventually come to the European job market if European universities go there. This is clearly a case of multiple equilibria. More work is needed to figure out if equilibria are Pareto ranked.

Macro Workshop at UCL, November 21, 2017

My first Halloween seminar… I have presented our  new work with Paul Beaudry “Real Keynesian Models and Sticky Prices”. I should be able to post a first version  soon.

Quick summary of what happened between February and October 2017 (Part 1)

Lot of things happened since I last posted on that site. Most importantly, I am now Professor of Economics at University College London.

Below is a brief summary of my activities since my February seminar in Berlin:

• March 29th, 2017 : I presented my research with Paul Beaudry and Dana Galizia “Putting the Cycle Back into Business Cycle Analysis” at the Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali (LUISS),in Rome, and I spent the week visiting the Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance (EIEF)
