The XXVIII Workshop in International Economics and Finance will be held in Rio de Janeiro on July 19-20, 2026. Venue: Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV).
The workshop is a unique event that brings together top researchers and policymakers from the North and the South to discuss recent theoretical and empirical advances in International Economics and Finance. The goal of the meeting is to gain a better understanding of the macroeconomic problems faced by Latin American countries and to encourage research on those subjects. We will discuss approximately ten academic papers in closed seminar-style sessions; some sessions of a less technical nature will be open to a broader audience.
