Workshops

UNIL, EPFL and HEI organize together a series of common macroeconomic workshops on the Macroeconomics of Financial Crisis, financed by the Sinergia Project. The aim of this series of workshops is to create synergies among the members of the three institutions and to etablish a group of researchers working on macroeconomics. PhD students and Postdoc are strongly encouraged to present/discuss a paper so as to benefit from the interaction with people from other institutions.
