FRAME will provide policymakers with a framework to study the impact of innovation policies and institutions on a broader range of variables. Final Policy Conference ------------------------------------------------------------ The FRAME Final Policy Conference (https://cepr.org/40031) aimed at understanding how monetary and fiscal policymaking and the development of innovation policy for the diffusion of technology are interdependent in the short, medium and long-term.
