6th HenU / INFER Workshop on Applied Macroeconomics

April 24th - 26th 2020

 

SUBMISSION IS NOW OPEN

 

From April 24th to 26th 2020, the Center for Financial Development and Stability (CFDS) at Henan University and the International Network for Economic Research (INFER) will organize their 6th annual Workshop on Applied Macroeconomics hosted by Henan University.

Since the economic reforms in 1978, China has ascended to the second largest economy on the globe (the largest when looking at purchasing power adjusted values). The financial markets have been growing correspondingly, and by the end of 2017, the Chinese bond market had become the third largest fixed income market in the world. That makes the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) who is in charge of both monetary policy and to a large extent for financial market regulation one of the most important central banks of the world.

This year, we specifically invite papers dealing with the Chinese monetary and financial system. However, as always, papers from all areas of applied macroeconomics are highly welcomed.
