At the conference, I will present a joint work with my ex-colleagues (Ozge Akinci, Marco Del Negro, and Albert Queralto) at the Federal Reserve, on the concept of R**, the financial (in)stability real interest rate. In a subsequent post, I will elaborate on the details of the concept of R**, its relevance for economic policy, and its measurement in the data.

The program of the conference is very interesting and will touch upon issues related to interest rate trends both worldwide and in emerging economies. The keynote speakers will be professors Ricardo Reis from the London School of Economics and Atif Mian from Princeton University. In addition, the program includes a lineup of other interesting presentations.
