2015 CIRANO Real‐Time Workshop

The 2015 CIRANO Real‐Time Workshop will be in Montreal, October 9-10, 2015. As usual, the program is looking great, thanks to the Program Committee of Dean Croushore (University of Richmond),  Domenico Giannone (FRB New York), Shaun Vahey (University of Warwick) and  Simon van Norden (HEC Montreal and CIRANO). The preliminary program appears below. Presumably the program and the papers will be posted online in due course.
