Conference Announcement and Agenda

Heterogeneity in Macroeconomics: Implications for Policy

November 12, 2021

Overview

The Symposium brings together researchers in academia and the central banking community to discuss the extent to which accounting for households’ heterogeneity—in particular inequality in income and wealth—changes our approach to macroeconomics. Specifically, the Symposium will investigate the effect of monetary and fiscal policy on inequality, with particular emphasis on the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic. It will also address the implications of heterogeneity for the transmission of monetary and fiscal policy, with a focus on recent policies, such as the CARES Act and average inflation targeting.
