The International Centre for Economic Analysis (ICEA) invites papers to be considered for a conference on Pandemics, Labour Markets and Inflation.
We invite papers related to the analysis of the post-pandemic developments in labour markets and inflation, lessons learned and policy responses, as well as papers related to the general topic of the conference.
The conference will take place at the Certosa di Pontignano, the conference centre of the University of Siena, Italy, June 30-July 1 2023. The Certosa is located about 10km from Siena.
The COVID-19 pandemic had far-reaching effects on labour markets and on inflation. It increased withdrawals from the labour market, despite uncertain economic conditions, in particular for older workers, in two-worker families and among people affected by long-covid. In many countries, the rate of unemployment fell to record lows. The pandemic disorganized international supply chains, increasing costs of production and transportation. These developments, exacerbated by the invasion of Ukraine and its effects on energy and food markets, led to inflation rate reaching the highest levels since 1980s. With even core inflation far exceeding targets, and low unemployment leading to faster wage growth, anti-inflationary policy of central banks is likely to lead several countries into a recession this year.
The conference is open to both presenters and non-presenters. Registration is required.
The conference will take place at the Certosa di Pontignano, the conference centre of the University of Siena, Italy, June 30-July 1 2023. The Certosa is located about 10km from Siena, in a beautiful Tuscan countryside.
The conference can be combined with the "Palio di Siena," which will take place on July 2. Palio di Siena is the most famous Italian horse race, run since 1633 in piazza del Campo, Sienaβs main medieval square.
