Prof. Moritz Schularick – The Great Leveraging: Credit and the Macroeconomy

We are delighted to have Prof. Moritz Schularick (University of Bonn, INET) join us for the first of our three-part webinar series on private debt and the credit cycle.

This is a webinar for students with research interests in empirical macro-finance. We will study the growth of finance and ask how and why credit cycles and time variation in the price of risk in financial markets affect the macroeconomy and financial stability.

We will have a quick introduction by the organizers, followed by a 45 minute lecture by Prof. Schularick. We will have about 15 minutes left for questions and discussion.

We look forward to seeing you all online!
