The lab encourages using advanced micro-empirical techniques and microeconomic data

to answer fundamental questions about the interaction of finance and the macroeconomy

WHAT WE DO

Convene regular informal research brainstorming/early ideas meetings (twice per semester)

Facilitate access to data sources by exploiting the lab’s connections with outside institutions (e.g. central banks)

Fund summer research, data acquisition and conference travel cost for students

Match advanced graduate students with qualified undergraduate research assistants

PEOPLE

We bring together faculty, post-doctoral researchers, graduate and undergraduate students to collaborate on macro-finance projects
