2nd European Workshop on Political Macroeconomics (EWPM)

The goal of the European Workshop on Political Macroeconomics (EWPM) is to bring together economists with a strong interest in political economy and macroeconomics. The workshop is meant to provide an opportunity to present one’s own work, but also – and more importantly – to create a productive atmosphere to discuss potential joint projects. It takes place on an annual basis and wanders from one European location to another. Since the EWPM is this year in the UK, we decided to convene a “topical panel” on Brexit. We also introduce a “special talk” on incorporating virtue ethics into social welfare functions of normative economics.
