Other contributions have stressed the consequences of limited information and imperfect expectations for macroeconomic dynamics and the effects of policies.

The second edition of this conference aims at bringing together leading researchers from academia, central banks and other policy institutions to present research findings related to the importance of expectations for macroeconomic dynamics and the conduct of macroeconomic policies.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Macroeconomic consequences of information frictions
  • Households / firms expectation formation
  • The role of information frictions for monetary policy
