European Summer Symposium in International Macroeconomics (ESSIM) 2010

25 – 28 May 2010
Roda de Bará (Tarragona)

Information

The seventeenth CEPR European Summer Symposium in International Macroeconomics (ESSIM) took place on 25-28 May 2010. The meeting was hosted by the Banco de España in Tarragona.

ESSIM is an annual meeting that brings together about 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.
