FRAME Final Policy Conference
Europe currently faces multiple challenges on economic, demographic and environmental fronts, which can be addressed by innovations in technology and process. Through the FRAME Final Policy Conference, we aim to understand 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.
The event is organised by the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) and will be held in London at the Grocers’ Hall (Princes Street, London EC2R 8AD).
More details regarding timings, speakers and discussants are available here.
To register your interest, please follow the instructions on the CEPR portal.
Please note that spaces are limited and subject to final confirmation by the organisers. Please register your interest as early as possible. |

Beyond Horizon 2020: Translating Public Research into Innovation
|
|
The workshop took place on the 15-16 October 2018 at the Centre for Innovation, Research and Competence in the Learning Economy (CIRCLE) at Lund University, Sweden.
The event was structured along three streams of research: endogenous technological adoption and innovation policies, structural change and polarisation on the labour market, and new methods for TFP estimation. The workshop involved policy-makers and outstanding academics, part of the macroeconomic community who discussed the new modelling and methodological approaches that FRAME is developing.

About FRAME
FRAME is a multi-partner research project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme for Research, Technological Development, and Demonstration. The project aims to develop a new generation of state of the art Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models, that, for the for the first time will allow for realistic estimates of the impact of public research and innovation activities on innovation, productivity growth, and unemployment. FRAME will provide policymakers with a framework to study the impact of innovation policies and institutions on a broader range of variables.
