Paco Buera on “A Macro-Development Research Agenda”
What explains the patterns of economic development across countries and over time? What policies can help foster economic development and improve the life of the least well off in poor economies? These are central questions in Macro-Development, a growing field that integrates modern quantitative macroeconomics methods with the wealth of micro-evidence provided by Micro-Development research.
The Society for Economics Dynamics is a scientific society with the purpose of encouraging and supporting economic research. It achieves its aims through publications, conferences and web dissemination: the Review of Economic Dynamics is the Journal of the Society; the SED Annual Meeting is the main scientific gathering of the Society, and this website, together with the Economic Dynamics Newsletter (RED supplement), provides information on the Society’s current and past activities and publications, as well as on current research in economics dynamics.
The Society for Economics Dynamics was founded by Thomas Sargent in 1990 in Minneapolis at what became the first SED meeting. Edward Prescott, Dale Mortensen and Thomas Cooley (Founding Editor of RED in 1998) were also part of the SED founding group. The first meetings were small, but many of the then young participants have also become leading researchers in economics. Over the years the SED meetings have become larger and RED has become well established among scientific economics journals. Both remain committed to being a doorway for young researchers into the frontier of economic research.

Ellen McGrattan and JuanPa Nicolini’s latest Presidential Letter
Many of the largest financial markets in the world do not organize trade through an exchange but rather operate within a decentralized or over-the-counter (OTC) structure. Understanding how these markets work has become increasingly important in recent years, as illiquidity in certain OTC markets has appeared as the first signs of trouble—if not the cause itself—of the past two financial crises. However, standard models of financial markets are not suitable for studying the causes of illiquidity in OTC markets, nor the optimal policy response. The Economics of Over-the-Counter Markets proposes a unified search-theoretic framework designed to explicitly capture the key features of OTC markets, confront the growing set of stylized facts from these markets, and provide guidance for policies designed to promote liquidity and resiliency. This incisive book covers empirical regularities that are common across OTC markets, develops the methodological tools to analyze the benchmark theoretical models in the academic literature, and extends these models to confront the latest issues facing these markets.
