We are pleased to announce the third session of the Joint Seminar of the Economics Departments in Bonn & Cologne!

 
Date: Monday, October 16, 4:00 pm
Place: Neuer Senatssaal, Hauptgebäude, University of Cologne
 
Lutz Kilian will present some of his research on the relation between oil prices and the US economy, developed in papers jointly written with Christiane Baumeister and Xiaoqing Zhou. In these papers, Kilian and his coauthors analyze why the massive and unexpected decline of the oil prices between 2014 and 2016 did not have a strong economic impact and they relate their findings to similar periods in recent decades.
