Macroeconomic Research Group

Group members share a common interest in developing structural economic models and confronting them with data. In addition to standard macroeconomic data sources, we devote special attention to research using rich Danish microdata on households and firms.

We are a young and growing research group with many PhD students. We have weekly seminars with international speakers. Together with the macroeconomics research groups at the Danish Central Bank and Copenhagen Business School, we organize bi-monthly workshops with both external and internal speakers. Inside the department, we work together with experts in microeconometrics from the Center for Economic Behavior and Inequality (CEBI), labor economists from the CoLab, and computational economists from the Centre for Computational Economics (CCE).

We teach and supervise activities in macroeconomics at all academic levels, from economic principles over computational methods to heterogeneous agent models. We have strong connections to Danish policymakers, including in the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank, where some of us have visiting or supervising roles.
