Abstract
The slow recovery experienced by several countries after the global financial crisis and ensuing recessions, stagnations, and deflationary pressures rendered apparent the need to explore the high degree of persistence of business cycle shocks and the mechanisms responsible for medium term fluctuations. This strongly encourages the investigation of a unified approach to the study of both trend and cycle. This conference aims to bring together researchers from growth, business cycle, and all related fields of macroeconomics with an explicit research interest in jointly investigating macroeconomics fluctuations and economic growth. We hope to attract a mix of theoretical and empirical skills to better study the issues that may arise in the joint modelling of fluctuations and and growth.
