Building on the success of last year's conference, the Department of Economics at the Miami Herbert Business School, University of Miami, will host the Miami Macro 2026 Conference “Monetary and Fiscal Policy in a New Era.” 

The event will be held in person at the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables, Florida, on April 24, 2026. 

The conference will consist of a day-long academic program followed by a conference dinner.

We are interested in macroeconomics broadly defined, with a special focus on monetary policy, fiscal policy, and their interactions. We seek both theoretical and empirical contributions. 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• The conduct of fiscal and monetary policy amid global supply shocks and heightened macroeconomic and political uncertainty.

• The implications of artificial intelligence for the design and conduct of policy.

• Distributional, regional, and spatial effects of policy and implications for policy design.

• The international transmission channels of fiscal and monetary policy under geoeconomic fragmentation, and the interaction between monetary and fiscal stability.

• Monetary and fiscal policy interactions under a potential new Fed-Treasury accord.

• The sustainability of public finances with aging populations and increasing public debt.

• The long-term implications and trade-offs for monetary and fiscal policy.

• The impact of changes in political governance, whether within the United States or internationally.

• The influence of inflation expectations and labor market conditions on inflation and monetary policy.

Please submit your paper (preferred) or extended abstract to Noah Williams (noahwilliams@miami.edu) by March 15, 2026.

The conference budget is limited, so we will be unable to provide travel support.
