The Department of Money and
Macroeconomics and the Center for Financial Studies (CFS)
at the University of Frankfurt and the Department of Economics
at the University of Würzburg are organising the 2006 Workshop
in Macroeconomics. The conference will take place this year
in Frankfurt on Friday, July 14 and Saturday, July 15. All
presentations are in plenary sessions and time will be left
for informal discussions. Participants are strongly encouraged
to stay both days. We primarily look for applications from
advanced PhD students close to completion or young post-docs.
