The 34th NBER-TCER-CEPR TRIO Conference
The 34th TRIO conference, jointly sponsored by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), the Tokyo Center for Economic Research (TCER), and the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), will focus on the causes and consequences of inflation. The conference is organized by Joshua Hausman (NBER), Kenichi Ueda and Refet Gürkaynak (CEPR), and Shin-ichi Fukuda (TCER). It will include roughly 6-8 paper presentations and will be held at the University of Tokyo on Saturday-Sunday, March 6th-7th, 2027. The conference will conclude by 12:30pm on Sunday, March 7th, thus allowing participants to fly back to Europe that day.
The organizers welcome submissions on all topics related to inflation, both within one country and across multiple countries. Theoretical and empirical work from all subfields of economics will be considered, and the research need not be related to Japan.
We encourage submissions from members of groups that have been historically under-represented in the economics profession.
Papers presented at the conference may be submitted to a special issue of the Journal of the Japanese and International Economies (JJIE), and authors are encouraged to consider this outlet for their work. If a paper is published in the JJIE, the author(s) will receive a total honorarium of JPY200,000, which can be divided among multiple authors. Papers submitted to the JJIE will undergo the normal journal reviewing process.
