Submissions are open for the 7th Conference on Law & Macroeconomics. Submissions are due on or before 13 October 2024.
Geopolitical tensions, inflation, and recurrent banking crises have exposed the fragilities of the international monetary system. At the same time, interventions by central banks and fiscal authorities have stoked optimism about the potential for a “soft landing” and sustainable economic expansion.
These developments reinforce the imperative of research at the intersection of law and macroeconomics, even as they recast and sharpen our understanding of the field. They form the background for the Seventh Conference on Law and Macroeconomics. The conference will be held on 6-7 January 2025, at the University of Michigan Law School and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is co-sponsored by the Centre for Commercial Law Studies at Queen Mary University of London.
We welcome submissions of papers that address the following topics, among others:
We hope to attract submissions from all relevant disciplines, including but not limited to law, macroeconomics, history, political science, and sociology.
Papers should be submitted for consideration on or before 13 October 2024. Abstracts and introductions are welcome, but full drafts of accepted papers will be expected for distribution by 22 December 2024. Please note that we have some funding available for presenters who face financial challenges in traveling to the meeting.
