Rebuilding Macroeconomics is a diverse and extensive network of mainstream and heterodox economists and academics from anthropology, biology, complexity, finance, history, philosophy, physics, psychology, sociology. Our Network brings together academics, policy makers, representatives of civil society and interested members of the public. Our aim is to transform macroeconomics into a policy-relevant social science.
Rebuilding Macroeconomics is a research network structured around a concept of Research Hubs. Each Hub addresses a specific “real world” macroeconomic issue and aims to ask relevant questions, chosen after extensive consultation with academics and the public. Hubs are settings for scholars and practitioners to explore and learn from each other, and to consider possible new methods of investigation.
The Instability Hub will hold its second workshop on 24 October at NIESR, bringing together those who were successful in their applications, to share their ideas and meet other members of the ResearchHub.
The event is titled “Women in Economics” and will discuss some of our current research that looks at inequality, gender and macroeconomics.
The Globalisation Hub held its first workshop on 21 May 2018 to inform its research call. From this discussion, several interesting points were raised about the distributional aspect to globalisation and we are holding this workshop to investigate these issues further.
The EPSRC-funded CRUISSE Network, led by Rebuild Macro Management Team Member David Tuckett, aims to bring academics from disciplines in mathematical, physical, psychological, social and other sciences together to better understand and help practitioners who are making difficult decisions.

Ekaterina Svetlova - Since the Global Financial Crisis, there has been a growing movement to reconsider the tools and methods used by the economics profession. Critics provide examples of what macroeconomic models omit and perhaps cannot accomplish.
