The Bernoulli Center for Economics (University of Basel) has hosted a Workshop in Monetary Economics in Marrakech on July 28th until August 3rd2016.
Description of topic
Due to information asymmetries, limited commitment, and spatial separation, it takes time and effort to find a trading partner and to reach agreement on the terms of transactions. Search theory is a powerful device to analyze such frictions and improved our understanding of market processes. This novel approach allows for a better design of policies that mitigate these frictions and improve market outcomes. The usefulness of search theory is widely recognized, and in 2010, its founders Peter A. Diamond, Dale T. Mortensen, and Christopher A. Pissarides were awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics for their analysis of markets with search frictions.
The objective of this workshop is to foster the collaboration between the University of Basel and the Université Cadi Ayyad, Marrakech and to bring together people working in New Monetarist Economics to discuss their ongoing research in this field.
