10th EABCN Workshop on Uncertainty over the Business Cycle

The business cycle and uncertainty are intimately linked in numerous dimensions. This conference brought together academics and policymakers to consider both theoretically and empirically these linkages. Suggested topics were:

•  How do we date business cycles and where currently is the European economy?
• Is this the end of the Great Moderation and if so what does the increase in volatility imply for consumption, investment and financial markets?
• How much uncertainty is there over the impact of monetary and fiscal policy in downturns?
• The role of learning and model uncertainty in business cycle models.
