Held under the theme “macroeconomic fluctuations and the labor market,” the conference brought together leading researchers in the field to present and discuss cutting-edge research on the workings of the labor market and how it propagates macroeconomic shocks.
The conference was split into three sessions:

(iii) wage rigidity (chaired by Chris Pissarides)
