Danmarks Nationalbank, Deutsche Bundesbank and Norges Bank are organizing a joint conference in Copenhagen, 5th and 6th October 2017, with the purpose of bringing together researchers working on empirical and theoretical aspects of business cycle analysis.

The aim of the meeting is to discuss new modelling approaches and novel empirical evidence on heterogeneity in the behaviour of firms, households and financial intermediaries, and the implications of heterogeneity for policymaking institutions. Morten Ravn (University College London), Julia K. Thomas (Ohio State University) and Egon Zakrajsek (Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve) have already confirmed their participation.

The program for the previous editions of the New Developments in Business Cycle Analysis conference is available at the Norges Bank website.

Organizing committee:

• Francesco Furlanetto (Norges Bank)
• Emanuel Moench (Deutsche Bundesbank)
• Federico Ravenna (Danmarks Nationalbank)
