Objective of the workshop:
Over the last two years, the global economy has been confronted to severe crises, including the COVID- 19 pandemic in 2020 and Russia’s war in Ukraine in 2022. These events and their economic implications raise severe challenges for policymakers and international policy cooperation. In particular, monetary authorities of industrialized countries face the challenge of stabilizing rising inflation in a context of uncertain economic growth, high energy price, volatile financial markets, and subdued consumer and investor confidence. The Collaborative Research Center of the Universities Bonn and Mannheim iorganized a two-day workshop to provide the opportunity to discuss and promote topical theoretical and empirical research related to areas international macroeconomics and monetary economics. Some particularly relevant topics were:
– Energy markets and inflation stabilization
– Financial stability and monetary policy transmission
– Global spillovers and unconventional monetary policy in small open economies
– International supply chains and the transmission of economic shocks
– Inflation expectations
– Macroeconomic risk and economic activity
