CEPR Macroeconomics Programme The CEPR Macroeconomics Programme is a research initiative within the Centre for Economic Policy Research linked to macroeconomic analysis, policy debate, and academic dissemination. It convenes economists, policy makers, and institutions to study business cycles, monetary dynamics, fiscal frameworks, and financial stability across international contexts. The programme produces policy-relevant working papers, conference proceedings, and collaborative projects with universities, central banks, and international organizations.
The programme brings together scholars associated with London School of Economics, Harvard University, University of Chicago, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton University, Stanford University, Yale University, Columbia University, University of California, Berkeley, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, University College London, New York University, University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern University, University of Michigan, University of Maryland, University of California, Los Angeles, University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, University of Warwick, University of Amsterdam, Bocconi University, Università Bocconi, HEC Paris, Erasmus University Rotterdam, University of Bonn, Bonn University, Stockholm School of Economics, Singapore Management University, National University of Singapore, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Australian National University, University of Melbourne, University of Sydney, IMF, World Bank, Bank of England, European Central Bank, Federal Reserve System, Bank for International Settlements, and think tanks such as Bruegel, Brookings Institution, Peterson Institute for International Economics, and National Bureau of Economic Research. It emphasizes cross-country comparison, theoretical innovation, and empirical validation using microdata and macrodata from sources linked to Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Eurostat, United Nations, International Monetary Fund, and central bank archives.
The programme evolved during the 1990s and 2000s alongside institutional initiatives at Centre for Economic Policy Research, influenced by advances from scholars who also worked at Cowles Foundation, Institute for Advanced Study, NBER Summer Institute, CEPR Research Network, and research centres at London Business School and INSEAD. Key historical inputs derived from debates shaped by events including the Great Recession, the European sovereign debt crisis, the Asian financial crisis, and the policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Foundational methodologies trace to contributions associated with Robert Lucas Jr., John Maynard Keynes, Milton Friedman, Irving Fisher, Friedrich Hayek, Paul Samuelson, Joan Robinson, Jan Tinbergen, Simon Kuznets, and later Nobel laureates such as Christopher A. Sims, Thomas J. Sargent, Olivier Blanchard, Joseph E. Stiglitz, Robert J. Shiller, Eugene F. Fama, Robert J. Barro, and Angus Deaton whose works shaped macroeconomic analysis.
Principal themes include business cycle theory, monetary transmission, fiscal multipliers, inflation dynamics, unemployment persistence, financial frictions, macroprudential regulation, and distributional macroeconomics. Research objectives align with testing models tied to New Keynesian economics, Real Business Cycle theory, Post-Keynesian economics, Monetarism, and frameworks inspired by General equilibrium theory, Game theory, Information economics, and Behavioral economics. Projects often use methods associated with Vector autoregression, Dynamic stochastic general equilibrium, Instrumental variables, Regression discontinuity design, and large-scale panel estimation exemplified in work by scholars from RAND Corporation, IZA Institute of Labor Economics, Centre for European Policy Studies, and leading university departments.
Notable outputs include CEPR Discussion Papers, policy briefs, edited volumes, and conference proceedings featuring contributions by authors from NBER, IZA, CEPR Network, Oxford Martin School, Copenhagen Business School, King's College London, Queen Mary University of London, Manchester School of Economics, Tel Aviv University, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, University of Zurich, ETH Zurich, and Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Major projects addressed fiscal frameworks after the Global Financial Crisis, macro-financial linkages during the European debt crisis, and pandemic-era stabilization tied to United States Department of the Treasury and HM Treasury policy discussions. Publications have been presented at forums like the Annual Meeting of the American Economic Association, Royal Economic Society Conference, Allied Social Science Associations, Jackson Hole Symposium, and workshops hosted with International Monetary Fund staff.
The programme is administered within Centre for Economic Policy Research structures and coordinated by directors and research directors who liaise with advisory boards including academics from London School of Economics, Princeton University, Harvard University, University of Oxford, Columbia University, and senior officials from European Central Bank, Bank of England, Reserve Bank of Australia, Federal Reserve Board, and Bank of Japan. Leadership roles rotate among economists affiliated with institutions such as University of Chicago, Yale University, Stanford University, New York University, and University College London, while editorial oversight for series links to journals and presses including Journal of Political Economy, Quarterly Journal of Economics, American Economic Review, Journal of Monetary Economics, Econometrica, Review of Economic Studies, and academic publishers like Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press.
The programme collaborates with international organizations and academic networks such as International Monetary Fund, World Bank, European Central Bank, Bank for International Settlements, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, G20, Group of Seven, European Commission, European Stability Mechanism, Institute of International Finance, Bruegel, Brookings Institution, Peterson Institute for International Economics, and university consortia including NBER, IZA, CEMFI, CENTRE FOR MACROECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND STUDIES, and regional research hubs across Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation and African Development Bank partnerships.
Research from the programme has influenced central bank policy debates at European Central Bank, Federal Reserve System, Bank of England, and Bank of Japan and informed fiscal policy deliberations in legislatures such as the United States Congress and parliaments across the European Union, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and emerging market authorities. Its outputs have been cited in policy reports by International Monetary Fund, World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and used in technical analyses at institutions including Bank for International Settlements, International Finance Corporation, Asian Development Bank, and national treasuries.
