I will have the great honor to make a “hands-on” seminar for the VIMM: Virtual Israel Macro Meeting on Local Projections on September 9, 2025 (15:00 Israel Time): https://www.vimacro.org/. A ton of thanks to Jonathan Benchimol for the invitation. Announcement and syllabus here:

This learning seminar will actively engage participants with practical applications and coding exercises using Stata, focusing on two recent empirical studies at the frontier of macroeconomic research: Ginn & Saadaoui (2025) on monetary policy responses to geopolitical shocks and Aizenman et al. (2024) on real exchange rates and international reserves in an era of deepening financial integration.
