The Frankfurt-Mannheim-Macro Workshop is held on a yearly basis. It provides a forum for the discussion and the development of macro-oriented research projects by researchers at universities and research institutions in Frankfurt and Mannheim and aims at stimulating the exchange between the two groups. The workshop targets a broad audience including advanced PhD students, junior and tenured faculty.

Several CRC projects are making use of the Dutch LISS data and the administrative CBS data linked to it. It should have taken place in person over three days. Instead, a shortened version was held as what probably was one of the first virtual workshops. There were several presentations with ideas, pitfalls, and helpful techniques to work with the data and with the remote computing environment of CBS. This sparked subsequent collaborative efforts and a harmonization of data preparation processes.

Organization: Christiane Englert, Ernst-Ludwig von Thadden

Dates: March 02-03, 2020

Venue: Mannheim

The workshop brought together researchers in the field of banking from Bonn and Mannheim and a small group of outside specialists. It was funded by the Collaborative Research Centre TR 224, co-organized with the Mannheim Centre for Competition and Innovation, and provided a platform for researchers of the CRC to discuss and share their research with the broader scientific community as well as interested faculty in Bonn and Mannheim.

The workshop covered all areas of modern banking research, with a particular emphasis on the CRC's research agenda in financial stability, competition, and bank vs. non-bank lending. It featured eight talks of 75 minutes each, which were deliberately designed in a seminar style to leave sufficient time for interaction and discussion. While lunches and dinners were by invitation only, faculty and students from Bonn and Mannheim were welcome to attend the sessions, subject to the availability of seating.

Motivated by consumer protection, privacy, market power, and other regulatory concerns, policy makers have come up with many poposals how to intervene in digital platform markets. Economic theory can contribute to a better understanding of such markets. In this workshop, CRC researchers and some invited researchers from outside the CRC presented and discussed recent theory contributions in platform economics.
