Banking, Monetary Policy, and Macroeconomic Performance

The global financial and economic crisis in 2008/2009 has revealed the critical role played by the financial sector of an economy. In response, many policy makers and academic scholars have focused their attention on the link between banking, monetary policy, and macroeconomic outcome. Against this backdrop, the Center for Economic Policy (CEPR-Monetary Economics & Fluctuations programme), the German Science Foundation (DFG), and the Research Center SAFE (SAFE) are organizing a joint conference on “Banking, Monetary Policy, and Macroeconomic Performance”.
