CORE Week, featuring the Macro-Development Insights Conference and the Advances in Applied Macro-Econometrics Conference

The Collaboration of Research Economists (CORE) model combines frontier research and an innovative delivery method to advance collaboration within the economics profession.

The CORE model consists of eight CORE Weeks per year. During each week, visiting economists from a range of disciplines will join with Richmond Fed economists for seminars, conferences, and formal and informal networking and collaboration — all with an eye toward advancing economic research.

 

Video is temporarily unavailable.

September CORE Week featured an impressive lineup of 16 visiting economists throughout the week, and the presentation of two conferences.  During the Macro-Development Insights Conference, researchers explored the topics of trade, firm specialization, property rights and wealth inequality.  At the Advances in Applied Macro-Econometrics Conference, economists addressed many methodological procedures, including lessening the computational difficulty of large Bayesian autoregressions, using predictions pools as a means of estimating impulse response functions, and removing the predictable component of interest rate changes around FOMC meetings.  More information about each conference can be found in the Economic Briefs included below.
