Macroeconomics

We are interested in all aspects of modern macroeconomics, from DSGE modelling and applied time series analysis to methodological advancements, with relevance for both policymakers and academic researchers.

About our work 

Our research spans most subfields of macroeconomics and in particular:

  • Monetary and fiscal policy,
  • International macroeconomics,
  • Heterogeneity,
  • Macro-labour,
  • Business cycles,
  • Macro-finance.

Our activities 

We organise the annual Sheffield Workshop in Macroeconomics, bringing together academics and policymakers each spring to discuss recent advances and foster collaboration.

Throughout the year, we host macroeconomists from academic, policy, and private-sector backgrounds, who visit our School to deliver seminars and guest lectures. 

As part of our School’s Ph.D. programme, we train economists, with roughly half of our candidates coming from central banks and governments worldwide.

We are always keen to collaborate with external colleagues and partners on emerging research avenues and pressing policy challenges.

See events from the cluster and across the school.

Get involved with our work 

The Macroeconomics cluster is led by Mallory Yeromonahos. 

Our group includes researchers at all levels, from established professors to early career researchers and PhD students.

We welcome enquiries from researchers within and beyond academia. Please reach out to Mallory to explore engagement opportunities or if you would like to know more about our activities.
