Call for Papers – Great Expectations

The London School of Economics (LSE) and the Nuffield College Centre for Applied Macro Policy (NuCamp) invite submissions for Great Expectations, a conference on macroeconomic expectations to be held at LSE on Thursday, 3 June 2027.

Expectations are central to economic policymaking and to some of the great episodes of macroeconomic history. This conference will explore how expectations are formed, how they are measured, and how they shape economic outcomes. We welcome empirical and theoretical work examining these questions from both modern and historical perspectives.
