„Overlapping Generation Models and Uncertainty - Theory, Policy Applications and Computation” MEA is organizing a Workshop on „Overlapping Generation Models and Uncertainty - Theory, Policy Applications and Computation” . Large-scale computable Overlapping Generations Models are increasingly used for applied economic analysis. Our goal is to bring the leading researchers on these topics to Mannheim for a focused two-day conference. The workshop will take place at the University of Mannheim on December 2 and 3, 2005. The program for the conference can be found here . By train it takes just 30 minutes to get from Frankfurt International Airport to Mannheim. The conference room (see below) and the hotel are both located within 5 minutes of walking distance from Mannheim main station. For train connections Frankfurt - Mannheim see http://www.bahn.de . The conference will take place in the main building of the Economics department in L7, 3-5, on the 5th floor. If you arrive by train, turn left at the station’s main gate. Proceed along this street through the parking area until you reach a large glass building (ZEW) in block L7. Neighbouring to this building on the right, you will find the Economics building.
