The Post-Keynesian Economics Society (PKES) and the Italian Post-Keynesian Network (IPKN) co-organised two webinars on post-Keynesian economics and macroeconomic modelling. The aim of the webinars was (i) to support the research of young scholars and (ii) to enhance the collaboration between researchers in Italy and post-Keynesian economists around the world. The webinars covered topics such as agent-based modelling, stock-flow consistent modelling, the supermultiplier, endogenous money and macroeconomic policies.
In each webinar there were three young scholars presenting academic papers and three discussants that provided comments/feedback.
