Call for papers: “PSE Macro Days 2024”
Call for papers - Deadline June 24
The Macroeconomic Risk and International Macroeconomics Chairs at the Paris School of Economics are pleased to announce the 2024 edition of the PSE Macro Days on the topic:
New risks and their implications for macroeconomic performance and policy
Recent years have seen the emergence of new risks in the world economy: new political tensions and military conflicts have broken trade and financial relations, and changed country risks and government fiscal needs. COVID 19 has underlined the vulnerability of health sectors and populations to pandemics and the lack of organised policy responses. The resurgence of populist policies has further increased the risk of economic fragmentation. Uncertainty about climate change and policy responses to it have created additional uncertainty. Partly following from this, commodity markets have been perturbed, trade linkages broken, and international supply chains have become less reliable. Surging inflation has challenged the ability of central banks to keep inflation and expecations about it at their target level. At the same time, increasing indebtedness of firms and households, as well as governments, has reduced the resilience of both private and public institutions in the face of this hightened uncertainty.
The organizers invite submissions of papers and extended abstracts on topics including, but not limited to:
- Geopolitical tensions and risk
- Fragmentation of markets
- The changed nature of inflation risk
- The populist challenge to economic policies
- Sovereign debt risk
- Fiscal sustainability under strain
The conference is planned as an in-person event in Paris. The organizers can cover travel and accommodation expenses for the presenters of accepted papers. To submit, please send a pdf of your paper to the following email address: macro at psemail.eu
The deadline for submissions is June 24. Decisions will be made by July 5.

The Macroeconomic Risk Chair aims to promote the development and dissemination of research into a number of areas linked to the issue of macroeconomic risk, the macroeconomic effects of uncertainty, the financial and macroeconomic contagion effects of crises and the long-term risks.
The International Macroeconomics Chair is the result of a partnership between the Banque de France and PSE. Sharing the same vision about scientific needs on international issues, these two organisations joint their efforts to build a chair with the objective of fostering the development of research on the financial & monetary international system, and in international Macroeconomics.
