European Summer Symposium in International Macroeconomics (ESSIM) 2012

22 – 25 May 2012
Roda de Bará (Tarragona)

Information

The twentieth European Summer Symposium in International Macroeconomics (ESSIM)  took place on 22-25 May 2012. The meeting, jointly organized with the CEPR, was hosted by the Banco de España in Tarragona. 

ESSIM is an annual meeting that brings together around 60 economists from across Europe and key researchers from outside the region. It provides a unique opportunity for macroeconomists from different research institutions and countries to discuss research in a relaxed atmosphere and to develop long-term collaborative relationships. Another important aim of ESSIM is to provide young researchers with the opportunity to meet and discuss their work with senior economists.
