Ensuring Economic and Employment Stability
Since 2024, the Ensuring Economic and Employment Stability (EES) network has been managed by the Chair of Macroeconomics at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.
EES is an institutional network at the intersection of macroeconomics and labor economics. The network stimulates collaboration and organizes regular workshops and conferences. The purpose is to unite scholars who are interested in studying the relationship between labor markets and business cycles. Moreover, the EES facilitates collaboration among scholars by establishing virtual communication channels and collaborative platforms.
The primary objective of this network is to (i) commence collaborative endeavors, (ii) facilitate the dissemination of ideas, and (iii) utilize research findings to provide guidance for policy-making.
The 2026 conference will take place on Wednesday, June 17 – Thursday, June 18, 2026, Nürnberg, Germany. Ayşegül Şahin (Princeton University) and Benjamin Schoefer (UC Berkeley) will deliver keynote speeches.
Submission deadline is Thursday, January 22, 2026. Further information can be found here.
