2nd EDITION

Aims and Scope

Following its successful inaugural edition, the workshop Macroeconometrics in Salerno continues to advance the use of macroeconometric tools to understand and address the most pressing challenges facing global economies today. From rising inequality and the complexities of the green transition to persistent inflationary pressures and the rapid diffusion of artificial intelligence, modern economies are undergoing deep and complex transformations. Macroeconometric methods provide a powerful framework for analyzing these dynamics, quantifying their systemic effects, and offering evidence-based guidance for robust policy design
