Phillips Curve and Internal Devaluation: The Regional Transmission of Business Cycle and Monetary Shocks Mini Conference

Comparative analyses of regional data in a currency area enhance our ability to understand the extent to which nominal and relative prices respond to business cycle disturbances, and their role in fostering adjustment and thus reducing the economic and employment costs of fluctuations. In the tradition of Cambridge-INET, CFM and Cambridge mini-conference, we are looking to bring together researchers at the frontier of this work, to appraise the current state of the research, review results in recent literature, and discuss open methodological and policy questions that define the agenda for the coming years.
