The 2016 MFM Summer Session held June 11–15 gave doctoral students and other early career researchers a thorough grounding in in macroeconomic modeling. Students learned techniques, data sources, evidence, applications, and methods to assess how the financial sector impacts the economy as a whole. The program brought together leading academics and experts who build and use models to manage system risk in financial and policy settings. Speakers presented models and methods in contexts focused on understanding the last financial crisis—and preventing the next one.

The Becker Friedman Institute hosted a conference in honor of Robert E. Lucas Jr. Oct. 7-8, 2016, followed by a dinner where he received the prestigious Phoenix Prize from the University of Chicago DIvision of Social Sciences.
In this workshop, organizers and participants discussed a series of papers using a common conceptual framework based on comparable data sets across seven of the largest Latin American countries, including Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru. The analyses are based on rich historical data collected from 1960s to the present.
The 1960s are an interesting starting point for analyses; beginning in this decade, Latin America was plagued by macroeconomic crises including defaults, devaluations, balance of payments crises, and banking crises or sudden stops. Current research suggests that these crises have a strong detrimental effect on output and employment.
Moreover, the events of the last five years made clear that developed economies are not immune to crises. While bad macroeconomic fundamentals like chronic deficits and high public debt appear as potential causes for the crisis, this is not always the case. Expectations and multiplicity may play a key role in these events.
In addition to the case studies, organizers presented several theoretical papers that examine the role of fiscal and monetary policies and the role of expectations on the probability of the crisis.

OPENING KEYNOTE: A MACROECONOMIC VIEW OF INNOVATION IN ISRAEL delivered by Professor Daniel Tsiddon, Deputy CEO, Bank Leumi at the Israel Dealmakers Summit presented by Landmark Ventures on March 5, 2014 in New York.
The Becker Friedman Institute was pleased to host its inaugural Open Source Macroeconomics Laboratory (OSM Lab), which ran an intenstive and immersive seven-week computational macroeconomics boot camp from June 19 to August 4, 2017. The goals were to: train advanced undergraduates and graduate students with the computational skills to participate in cutting-edge economic research and public policy analysis; inspire the brightest young researchers to pursue policy-relevant work throughout their careers; spread the ideals of transparency and replicability throughout the economics profession from the ground up; and accelerate scientific progress in economics and policy analysis more broadly
RIVIERA MAYA, QUINTANA ROO, MEXICO., May 17th, 2012. - The Mexican businessman and chairman of Grupo Carso Carlos Slim Helu said that Mexico will be a developed country in 10 or 15 years, noting that it has macroeconomic conditions, financial and better human potential for progress. During his participation in the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), The Americas Summit, Slim noted that Mexico has a very strong position and the fact that developed countries are in this crisis, can see that there plenty of cheap money in the long term, available and looking to make better investments. Served on a panel by Secretary of Tourism, Gloria Guevara Manzo, and the president of the WTTC, David Scowsill, the businessman said to grow Mexico as Latin America needs large investments.

Mr. Gerard Pascal Bussier, Deputy Financial Secretary at the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development of the Government of Mauritius during the AEC - Opening Ceremony.
This event brought together doctoral students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and UChicago to present their ongoing research in macroeconomics, finance, growth and development, and corporate finance. The aim was to allow students to present their work to a less familiar audience, to get a wider range of feedback, and to interact and build relationships with potential future colleagues. Each paper presented was discussed by a student from the other university. Participants presented to an audience of fellow students.

Both the 2008 worldwide financial crisis and the 2011 sovereign debt crisis in Europe highlighted the need to understand more deeply the precarious interaction between the financial sector and the economy as a whole. The third conference on this theme, the event will focus on macroeconomic fragility, systemic risk, financial-macro interactions, and related topics. Researchers will offer theoretical insights as well as empirical work towards the measurement of systemic risk.

Machine learning techniques are being actively pursued in the private sector and have been widely adopted in fields such as computational biology and computer vision. However, the role of machine learning in economics has so far been limited. This workshop was organized to provide a forum to discuss how ideas and techniques from machine learning could be applied to economic questions. The workshop will bring together researchers from computer science, statistics, econometrics and applied economics to foster interactions and discuss different perspectives on statistical learning and its potential impact on economics.
The workshop began with overview talks on machine learning and statistics by researchers from outside of economics. Three following sessions were organized around the themes of causal inference, prediction, and networks and complex data. Each session included the presentation of papers in economics that make use of machine learning methodology, followed by a discussion by researchers from multiple communities.
The Macro Finance Society organizes two conferences annually where researchers present recent work at the intersection of financial economics and macroeconomics. The methodological focus is on dynamic structural models that are grounded in data.

A team of economists from Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay and Uruguay will use country-specific data as “case studies,” testing two central hypotheses: first, that bad fiscal and monetary policies led to macroeconomic instability, and second, that macroeconomic instability was responsible for low growth and poor economic performance in this region. - See more at: bfi.uchicago.edu/events/fiscal-and-monetary-history-latin...

The 2017 OECD Economic Survey of China assesses the country’s recent macroeconomic performance and proposes policy measures to promote higher-quality growth. Improving corporate performance by boosting innovation activities and entrepreneurship, enhancing the standards of corporate governance and reforming state-owned enterprises by exposing them more to market mechanisms would raise efficiency and boost household incomes, increase employment opportunities and raise people’s overall well-being. Moving to less energy-intensive production is also key to achieve greener and more sustainable growth. Greater redistribution through the tax-and-transfer system and better targeting of social assistance would enhance inclusiveness. At the same time, inequalities in access to education, healthcare and pensions need to be addressed.

Maha Ali Kazmi on Clown Town
Maha is a Pakistani singer/song writer who was born and grew up in Karachi, and later acquired her higher education in Bachelor of Business and Commerce in finance, macroeconomics and management from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
From early childhood Maha developed a taste for Music through exposure from her dad who has a penchant for both western classical music (Mozart, Beethoven, Bach and Vangelis) and old school 60s and 70s bands/artists. Maha's earliest exposure to Music was through her dad, and it is no coincidence she picked up on the tunes he hummed and the songs he listened to. With her dad's vast repertoire of record collection at her disposal, she became familiar with the works of great artistic geniuses like Nancy Sinatra, Janis Joplin, John Lennon, Mark Knopfler, Leonard Cohen, Rolling Stones, Simon and Garfunkel, The Smiths, Moody Blues, etc at a fairly young age.
