EABCN: Can Heterogeneous Agent Models Be Useful for Central Bankers? How?

London, United Kingdom
22 Sep 2025

Hosted by the Bank of England on 22 September 2025

The Bank of England and the Euro Area Business Cycle Network are organizing a one-day workshop on the use of heterogeneous agent models in central banking. In particular, the focus will be on how, if at all, explicitly modeling heterogeneity can assist central bankers in pursuing their core mandates related to macroeconomic aggregates and financial stability. The conference explicitly focuses on the use of heterogeneous agent models in the analysis of aggregates, rather than distributions.


The keynote speaker is Adrien Auclert (Stanford University and CEPR).

The deadline for submissions was 15 April 2025


Organizers: 
Ambrogio Cesa-Bianchi (Bank of England and CEPR)
Refet Gürkaynak (Bilkent University, CEPR, and EABCN)
