The fourth edition of the Salento Macro Meetings will take place in Lecce, Italy on the 26th and 27th of August 2021. The objective of this event is to bring distinguished researchers in Macroeconomics in the relaxed and fruitful atmosphere of Salento, the peninsula located in the southernmost region of Apulia, Italy.

The conference is planned as an in-person event. Should travel restrictions bind by the time of the conference, we will allow speakers to participate online if needed.

We welcome submissions of theoretical or empirical papers addressing issues including (but not limited to):

· Business cycles fluctuations
· Monetary and fiscal policy in closed and open economy
· Imperfect information
· Firm dynamics and heterogeneity

Submissions from members of under-represented groups in the economics profession are encouraged.

Confirmed speakers of this edition are:
- Claudio Michelacci (Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance and CEPR)
- Franck Portier (University College London and CEPR)
- Giorgio Primiceri (Northwestern University and CEPR)

The workshop organisation will be able to cover accommodation expenses for speakers. Financial support from the Chair Banque de France at the Paris School of Economics is kindly acknowledged. Please send a pdf of your paper to [email protected].

The deadline for submissions is 31 May 2021.
