Macroeconomics and International

The Macro and International Economics Research Group consists of faculty and PhD students and is primarily a research group. Most of the interaction centres around our weekly seminar and workshop, but we also take responsibility for the teaching curriculum in macroeconomics, international finance and international trade. Our members are also affiliated with the Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy (CAGE), the Centre for Macroeconomics (CfM), the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR), and the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR). We frequently host visitors for research seminars or longer stays.

At the heart of the group's interaction are the weekly seminar for external visitors and a weekly workshop for internal faculty and PhD students. Our other events include annual workshops in empirical macro (with Warwick Business School), international trade (with CAGE) and the "Micro and Macro" workshops (with the Econometrics and Labour Group), occasional conferences, an internal summer workshop, reading groups, and a welcome lunch for the new PhD students at the start of the academic year.
