Event details
The Liverpool Workshop on Micro Data and Macro Policy is an ideal opportunity for researchers from both academic and policy institutions to explore the transmission of policy through the lens of micro data, with a particular emphasis on monetary policy.
The primary goal of the workshop is to share novel insights into how micro-level data can inform macroeconomic policy analysis and to foster a network of active researchers working at the intersection of these fields.
