We are pleased to announce the 3rd RISE Workshop, to be held in Tokyo, Japan, on July 23-25, 2025. This workshop will bring together scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to explore innovative approaches in economic policy that address the complexities of today’s global economy. The event will focus on developing and assessing tools and frameworks that help navigate unprecedented macroeconomic challenges, deepening our understanding of shock sources, macroeconomicconsequences, and actionable policy strategies for enhancing economic resilience and stability.
