Summer School on the Macroeconomics of Business Dynamism
Together with Petr Sedlacek we have launched an online Summer School on the Macroeconomics of Business Dynamism.
The 2026 edition took place on August 17-21. We discussed how to build structural macro models informed by firm-level data to answer questions such as: What’s behind today’s productivity slowdown? How important are startups and firm exit for economic growth? Who tends to start high-growth firms? How should we design R&D subsidies? And how do shocks and policies propagate when firms differ in size, age or efficiency? You can find more information about 2026 edition here.
Stay tuned for the 2027 edition!
