Macroeconomic Risk Chair Newsletter #10 - October 2022

The fifth annual lecture of the Macroeconomic Risk Chair was held online on May 19, 2022, with Laura Veldkamp (Columbia Business School) as special guest speaker. Following this lecture, we had the opportunity to interview her about her research. On September 15, 2022, a round table was also organized during the Annual Conference of the Chair, featuring Klaus Adam (University of Mannheim), Giancarlo Corsetti (EUI) and Martín Uribe (Columbia University).
