The Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), and the European Central Bank (ECB) are pleased to present the 2022 conference “WE_ARE_IN Macroeconomics and Finance”.

The aim of the conference is to bring together female experts who will present and discuss new research on macroeconomics and finance which is of particular interest to central banks.

Policy panel 
A policy panel on "Inflation is back: why and what next?" will take place on the first day of the conference. Moderated by Claire Jones (Financial Times). The Panel will be Silvana Tenreyro (Bank of England, London School of Economics and CEPR), Beata Javorcik (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and CEPR) and Fernanda Nechio (Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco). 


WE_ARE_IN stands for Women in Economics: Advancing Research in Economics Internationally. It brings together two initiatives WE_ARE and WiM, which are based in Europe and the United States.

WE_ARE is a CEPR seminar series in which junior women present their work and receive constructive feedback from their peers and from senior women. WiM is an annual conference organised, with the support of the Becker Friedman Institute, by Marina Azzimonti (Stony Brook University and CEPR), Alessandra Fogli (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and CEPR), and Veronica Guerrieri (University of Chicago, Booth School of Business and CEPR) that features the work of Women in Macro and creates opportunities to strengthen their research and expand their networks.
