Carnegie Rochester NYU Conference on Public Policy

The Carnegie Rochester NYU Conference on Public Policy is an esteemed gathering focused on the theme of Inflation Dynamics: Theory and Evidence. This conference seeks to bring together scholars and researchers to analyze the complexities surrounding inflation from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Key topics of interest include the sources of the recent rise in inflation globally, its effects on workers, households, and firms, as well as the appropriate policy responses that can be formulated in light of these dynamics. Participants are encouraged to submit papers that cover a wide range of relevant topics, utilizing various types of data—both micro and macro—as well as employing diverse empirical and theoretical methods.Among the specific areas of interest are the interactions between monetary and fiscal policy, the formation and role of inflation expectations, the transition from micro to macro regarding price-setting behavior, and the impact of inflation on wages and the labor market. Additionally, the conference will explore the influence of global supply chains and geopolitical disruptions on inflationary trends. Authors are invited to submit detailed abstracts of no more than two pages outlining their proposed research, and if available, a preliminary version of the paper may be included. The selection of papers will be made by the editors in concert with the Carnegie-Rochester-NYU Advisory Board, ensuring that the final chosen works represent original research not published elsewhere. It is important for authors to note that once the papers are intended for publication, they will not be able to publish or reprint their work without permission from the editors and publisher.
