Conference on Microeconomic Sources of Real Exchange Rate Behavior
September 24–25, 2010
Vanderbilt University
Nashville, TN
Call for Papers
Submission deadline: 5 p.m. CDT, May 15, 2010
Organized by
The Center for International Price Research; Department of Economics, Vanderbilt University and the Globalization and Monetary Policy Institute, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
The conference organizers welcome submissions of theoretical and empirical contributions to our understanding of "Microeconomic Sources of Real Exchange Rate Variation."
Relevant topics include
- Quantitative theoretical models of real exchange rates and/or trade patterns;
- The role of borders, distance, exchange rate regimes, productivity variation, and tastes and technology in shaping the long-run cross-sectional patterns of relative price dispersion; and
- Yhe drivers of the business-cycle variation in real exchange rates around their long-run means.
We particularly encourage submissions that:
- Develop novel micro-price databases spanning national borders and/or employ such novel data in quantitative economic theory and structural estimation;
- Bridge microeconomic and macroeconomic dimensions of real exchange rates and trade patterns;
- Integrate subfields of economics (e.g., industrial organization of the automobile production market with general equilibrium restrictions across locations) or
- Bring historical perspective.
