Chair of Applied Macroeconomics

Research output is disseminated via participation at international conferences and publications in leading academic journals. The Chair also organises seminar series, workshops and conferences. Together with the guest program in which scholars from all around the world are invited to visit KOF, this assures a continuous flow of academic input and fosters a research-friendly environment. Its members furthermore offer lectures, tutorials and seminars in the fields of macroeconomics, econometrics, international monetary economics and political economy at the ETH Zurich.

In the future, the Chair intends to keep a focus on topics combining knowledge from the fields of international macro-economics and international political economy. For instance, projects relating corruption and migration flows are scheduled to be carried out. Furthermore, recent research links individual firm or household data to topics related to the business cycle and economic forecasting. Finally, an increased focus upon monetary economics is envisaged.
