1st International Conference on Macroeconomic Implications of Intra-Household Decision Making
December 11-12, 2024, Goethe University Frankfurt
We invite you to submit a paper to the conference “Macroeconomic Implications of Intra-Household Decision Making”. Keynote lectures will be given by David de la Croix (Université Catholique de Louvain and CEPR) and Michèle Tertilt (University of Mannheim and CEPR).
The work presented at this conference will cover research that advances the understanding of the role of decision making in multi-person households for the macroeconomy and for the distributions of income, consumption and wealth. We welcome empirical and theoretical contributions in the following areas:
• Household formation, marriage and fertility
• Human capital and income dynamics over the lifecycle
• Labor market dynamics and wage inequality
• Household savings and housing
• Wealth and income inequality
To submit a paper for presentation at the conference, please send us an e-mail with your submission in pdf format. Submission of an extended abstract is possible, although preference will be given to full paper submissions. If you are interested in discussing a paper, please also let us know. The deadline for submissions is August 15, 2024. Acceptance decisions will be communicated by September 15. Hotel accommodation for all speakers will be provided and limited travel funds are available. We look forward to receiving your submissions. For all communications and submissions, please send an e-mail to Christine Nieraad (nieraad@econ.uni-frankfurt.de).

October, 6 2023: Frankfurt-Mannheim Macro Workshop
The Frankfurt-Mannheim Macro Workshop brings together researchers in quantitative macroeconomics from Goethe University in Frankfurt, the University of Mannheim, and other institutions in the region. One distinguishing feature of this workshop is its focus on presentations by junior scholars, which are then discussed by established researchers. This year, the workshop was sponsored by the MIIHD unit, and it had a special emphasis on family economics. The presentations covered various topics, including the role of protective labor laws for women, differential labor outcomes for singles and couples in equilibrium, household consumption and insurance in the context of health shocks, and the impact of cash transfers on fertility.
