We are a group of researchers who are Yonsei University Alumni (and/or faculty members) and whose research interests lie in macroeconomics or related fields. We always welcome new participants and voluntary presenters!
In the Yonsei Macro Meeting, we study current and important topics in macroeconomics and related fields. We hold irregular seminar series and workshops.
The meeting is mainly held online via zoom. Please contact Joonkyu Choi (joonkyu.choi@frb.gov) or Myungkyu Shim (myungkyushim@yonsei.ac.kr) if you are interested in joining this meeting and would like to receive information on the seminar.
