Macroeconomic Regimes and Policies: The Quest for Economic and Financial Stability and Growth

The theme for EHA 2017 is “Macroeconomic Regimes and Policies: The Quest for Economic and Financial Stability and Growth.” Beginning in the second half of the twentieth century, economic historians began to explore macroeconomic history, creating a vast new realm for research. This year the conference will be devoted to this continuing development inviting institutional, narrative, theoretical, and empirical research in macroeconomic history. Topics of interest are wide-ranging, including the history and origins of monetary, fiscal, and financial institutions and markets; monetary and exchange rate regimes (specie, fiat); fiscal regimes; the history of central banks and monetary policy; and the relationship between macroeconomic regimes and policy in causing or correcting major economic and financial disturbances (depressions, recessions, inflations, deflations, and financial crises) as well as influencing economic growth. The studies presented are comparative, country-specific, and/or global.
