The BSE Summer Forum Workshop on Macroeconomics and Social Insurance will take place in Barcelona from June 18-19, 2024.
The workshop aims to bring together research that analyzes several aspects of insurance against individual risk from a macroeconomic perspective. These aspects cover forms of (1) mutual insurance either from formal institutions (e.g general tax/transfer system, the pension system, unemployment and health insurance) or informal contracts (e.g within family ) and (2) self-insurance (e.g. through savings or labor supply decisions).
