The London School of Economics (LSE) and the Nuffield College Centre for Applied Macro Policy (NuCamp) invite submissions for Great Expectations, a conference on macroeconomic expectations to be held at LSE on Thursday, 3 June 2027. Expectations are central to economic policymaking and to some of the great episodes of macroeconomic history. This conference will explore how expectations are formed, how they are measured, and how they shape economic outcomes. We welcome empirical and theoretical work examining these questions from both modern and historical perspectives.
Please send an abstract or full paper by 31 January 2027 to: nucamp@nuffield.ox.ac.uk
Authors of accepted papers will be notified in late February. Limited funding may be available to support presenters’ travel and accommodation.
The full programme will be posted here when finalised.

LSE holds a wide range of events, covering many of the most controversial issues of the day, and speakers at our events may express views that cause offence. The views expressed by speakers at LSE events do not reflect the position or views of the London School of Economics and Political Science.
