The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, the Department of Economics and the School of Management at Boston University, are organizing a conference on recent developments in macroeconomics and finance.

Both theoretical work and empirical work are welcomed.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: financial frictions and their effects on asset prices and the real economy, asset pricing, banking, macro-prudential regulation, credit risk, dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models (DSGE) with risk premia and/or financial frictions, monetary and banking supervisory policy during financial crises (including the effects of quantitative easing policies), sovereign debt, financial stability, liquidity in financial markets, and quantitative corporate finance.
