Topic Econometrics in Swedish policymaking - Applications and reflections from 15 years of practice
Abstract I will talk about how econometrics shapes policy decisions at major Swedish institutions, including the Ministry of Finance, National Institute of Economic Research and the Riksbank. For instance, I'll discuss how macroeconomic forecasts are built and how VAR models have been used to answer policy-relevant questions. The presentation will be very non-technical and hopefully easily accessible also for non-experts. All are welcome!
