On Friday 29th and Saturday 30th April a workshop will be taking place on Macroeconomic and Financial Imbalances and Spillovers as part of the ADEMU Project.

This workshop is being organised by Work Package 3 of the ADEMU project. The research focus of this Work Package is on the spillover effects between member states that are caused by shocks to fiscal and financial variables and on the role of international imbalances in macroeconomic and financial variables due to asymmetric patterns of economic interdependence within the euro area and between the EU states.  The main subject of the workshop is the extent to which these effects and imbalances have contributed to recent macroeconomic instability and the potential role of macroprudential regulation.

The workshop is being organised by Radim Bohacek (CERGE-EI) and Hugo Rodriguez Mendizabal (Barcelona GSE).
