From September 12th to 13th 2025, the Center for Financial Development and Stability (CFDS) at Henan University and the International Network for Economic Research (INFER) will organize their 8th annual Workshop on Applied Macroeconomics hosted by Henan University. As always, we invite papers from all fields of applied macroeconomics.
Since its economic opening in 1978 and even more so since its accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001, China has become one of the main actors of the global economy. Since 2009, China has been the largest exporter in the world. Since 2013, China has promoted its “Belt and Road Initiative”, funding infrastructure – mostly in emerging markets – along the new “maritime silk road” and the old land trade corridors of the historical silk road, to further increase regional connectivity and possibly trade flows. While China has been continuously opening, there are still barriers to trade. With China’s economic prosperity, those are seen increasingly critical by Western trading partners who are less and less willing to treat China as developing economy but rather see it as rival.
From April 3rd to 5th, 2024, the Center for Financial Development and Stability (CFDS) at Henan University and the International Network for Economic Research (INFER) organized their 7th annual Workshop on Applied Macroeconomics hosted by Henan University.
One year after our involuntary hiatus, the world is still in the grip of Covid-19. So before hopefully returning to our regular schedule next year, we decided to offer a special half-online / half-offline 5.5. HenU/INFER Workshop on Applied Macroeconomics from November 5th – 6th, 2021. Not only did we manage to get you two exciting keynote speakers with Michael Song and Helmut Lütkepohl, but we also convinced them and almost all of our previous keynote speakers to chair a session so you can get high profile feedback on your papers just as you did in our past conferences. There will be a special issue on the Chinese monetary and financial system in China Economic Review, but as always, excellent contributions from all fields of applied macroeconomics are highly welcomed.
From March 29th to 31st 2019, the Center for Financial Development and Stability (CFDS) at Henan University and the International Network for Economic Research (INFER) will organize their 5th annual Workshop on Applied Macroeconomics hosted by Henan University.
