In a paper published in the “Oxford Handbook of the Economics of Central Banking” Michael Binder, Philipp Lieberknecht, Jorge Quintana and Volker Wieland draw a comparison of the new generation of macroeconomic models.

With an Aachen penny of Charlemagne, Volker Wieland said thank you to Mario Draghi for having attended The ECB and Its Watchers conference so many times during his time as President of the European Central Bank. Current  monetary policy issues also gave much to talk about at the 20th edition of the conference.
