About Us

Welcome to the Berlin Macroeconomics Network's homepage! The network brings together the macro community in the metropolitan area of Berlin.

We are a group of junior researchers coming from different institutions such as BDPEMS (Berlin Doctoral Program in Economics and Management Science), DIW (German Institute for Economic Research), Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Technische Universität Berlin. Since 2014, our mission has been to foster joint research projects, to provide a platform for exchange of ideas and to inform the global macro research community about the work conducted in the Berlin area.

To fulfill the mission of the network, we organize internal workshops on macroeconomics on an annual basis. The workshops feature a special guest who differs on every edition. The first one was kindly attended by Professor Fabio Canova in 2014. The 2016 workshop's special guest was Professor Wouter Den Haan while Professor Jordi Galí attended the third edition in 2017. Lastly, Professor Stephanie Schmitt-Grohé and Professor Martin Uribe were special guests of the 2018 workshop. Further activities of the BMN include, among other things, organizing in-house teaching and hosting a reading group.

This webpage serves as a guide to our work and we hope that you will gain many new and useful insights from it.
