The 27th Macro Finance Society Workshop will be held May 1-2, 2026, hosted and co-sponsored by the Rodney L. White Center for Financial Research at the Wharton School in Philadelphia, and organized by Tim Landvoigt (Wharton) and Sean Myers (Wharton). The workshop aims to bring together researchers whose work spans both macroeconomics and finance. Special consideration will be given to papers authored by junior faculty members of The Society, as well as papers that have not been presented or scheduled for presentation at major conferences.

The workshop will start in the afternoon May 1st with methods lectures by Winston Wei Dou (Wharton) and Thomas Winberry (Wharton), followed by a conference dinner. May 2nd will feature a full day of conference presentations, including a keynote address by distinguished speaker Markus Brunnermeier (Princeton).”

Please submit papers using this form until February 2, 2026:

Poster submissions

In addition, we invite submissions from PhD students to present in a poster session. Students will prepare a 30×40 poster illustrating their current research and will be given the opportunity to present their work and get feedback from other attendees. If you have PhD students whose work in macro-finance is at a stage where it could benefit from exposure, please encourage them to submit a paper. We will award travel grants for students presenting a poster (hotel accommodations in the conference block plus up to $750 for reimbursements within University of Pennsylvania allowable travel expenses).

Submit posters through this form by February 2, 2026.
