Conference: Disaggregating the Business Cycle

Date: 
Sunday, 7 October 2012 to Monday, 8 October 2012
Venue: 
Fondation de la Banque Centrale du Luxembourg

The global financial crisis has stimulated theoretical and empirical research on the sources and propagnation mechanismus underlying business cycles. In particular, it called into question standard methods based on macroeconomic aggregates.

The conference focused on empirical and theoretical contributions providing a more disaggregate perspective on business cycles and new perspectives on structural analysis, forecasting, as well as economic policy design and assassment.

Empirical applications on the euro area are particularly welcome.
