Economic Symposium Conference Proceedings

Each year since 1978, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City has sponsored a symposium on an important economic issue facing the U.S. and world economies. Symposium participants include prominent central bankers, finance ministers, academics, and financial market participants from around the world. The participants convene to discuss the economic issues, implications, and policy options pertaining to the symposium topic. The symposium proceedings include papers, commentary, and discussion.

Read more about the symposium's history, which spans more than three decades.

In addition, the Bank has provided this information to the media, members of Congress and the public. To learn more about the location of the annual symposium, watch Bloomberg TV's video "Inside the Central Banking Hangouts of Jackson Hole."
