¿Cómo puedes mantener tu formación macroeconómica actualizada con las últimas tendencias?

Reading is essential for all constant upliftment of mind. In economics, the application constantly evolves because unlike textbook where everything is assumed to be constant, the real world is constantly changing. Reading sharpens the mind to consider many scenarios. Multi- disciplinary reading is more beneficial

Algunos de los tips que me sirvieron para poder actualizarme en los ultimos metodos empiricos y teoricos de macroeconomia son libros y papers actuales en revistas top (AEA , AER, etc). Asimismo, poder replicar mucho de sus hallazgos para poder mejorarlo y entenderlos a la perfeccion, comprendiendo que limitaciones tiene y que preguntas de investigacion carecen.

Engaging with contemporary economic literature is crucial for maintaining an up-to-date understanding of macroeconomic developments. Supplementing this with regular consumption of 'The Economist' magazine, daily news articles, and informative YouTube videos is advisable. While these sources may not appear as academically rigorous, they offer valuable insights into prevailing economic trends. Additionally, economists are encouraged to utilize ChatGPT and related tools to stay informed and enhance their analytical capabilities in this rapidly evolving field.

Sin duda la lectura es el principal medio por el cual mantener actualizado el bagaje macroeconómico. Empero, hay que saber elegir. Empezaría por las lecturas que cuentan con el escrutinio de pares. Esto, además de añadir formalidad, nos sirve como mecanismo de revelación de que no es solo una opinión más, sino que ha sido sometida a la revisión de otros expertos en la materia. De esta forma, se disminuyen opiniones personales, prejuicios o simplemente seguir tendencias que se ha vuelto muy común. En segundo lugar incluiría publicaciones de grandes expertos, que no expondrían su capital intelectual a la ligera. Por último, leería publicaciones de negocios que dan intuición de cómo operan los agentes que toman decisiones económicas.

Ler diariamente ainda é uma das mais eficazes ferramentas diante de um mundo sujeito a fortes mudanças a cada minuto, em diversas esferas, sobretudo na macroeconomia. Estar atento às bases conceituais, sem preterir as vicissitudes às quais o mercado financeiro está submetido constantemente. Guerras, Pandemia, Endemias, Pautas Ambientais e Geopolítica são apenas alguns dos aspectos para os quais devemos atentar insistentemente afim de que nos mantenhamos atualizados. Recentemente precisei fazer algumas rodadas de negociação para compra de alguns containers de arroz; e entender quais os desdobramentos da suspensão das exportações por parte da Índia para suprir a demanda interna foi crucial. O país atende cerca de 40% da demanda mundial

Taking online courses is great as they usually have the newest material. I’d strongly recommend ones that give you a cerification at the end.

Taking up relevant online courses can go a long way in this regard. Unlike strictly theoretical conventional courses which are still being taught in many schools, online courses are quite applied, flexible and time-efficient. Make sure you find the right course that suits your field the most with proper certification.

Cursos são excelentes para trazer essa base inicial, uma leitura mais densa pode ser uma barreira, porém encontrando um curso com uma didática mais leve, pode ser um ótimo caminho para se desenvolver e aprimorar seus conhecimentos.

Taking online courses may helps you to get more indepth knowledge but principles of macroeconomic concepts are same. Best thing is look at major findings of new research and take rival decisions on geopolitical issues. Most vital thing under this you must keep track on developed markets and high popolation countries behaviour. I will suggest you all to collect or maintain your own diary of change of major macroeconomic indicators as much as you can and its a some sort of online knowledge enhancement

Even as the founder of our business, and a trader and entrepreneur of over 20 years, I never think I 'know enough'. Therefore- I'm constantly enrolling on online courses for topic relevant events. The day you get complacent, is the day you stop progressing.

O teste das análises e pensamentos econômicos é passo preponderante para análises maduras. Buscar a interação com outros colegas e outros profissionais de áreas complementares é fundamental para aprofundar o entendimento de questões complexas.

LinkedIn is actually really solid but definitely specific groups could be useful. I think the best thing is to have a team of colleagues that share your interests and ones you can speak frankly with.

Associations, think tanks and communities impart loads of knowledge in this space. I won’t deny the fact and I can quote loads of examples through this medium and term.

Joining online communities is imperative in expanding your understanding in anything after learning it. Macroeconomic training is no different. Joining online communities enables you to read more and expand your knowledge, and also to witness and participate in discussions about macroeconomic issues. That enables you to expand your skill set when it comes to macroeconomic analysis, as you get exposed to a plethora of ways to analyze and understand macroeconomic issues. Linkedin is actually a great medium to do so, as all different calibers use it and join these communities.

Online communities are excellent. For business/the economy- linkedin is my choice of medium. However, as of late- we've also been expanding onto multiple other platforms/mediums. If we can build a voice and assist people- it will be time worth spent.

Going by the books doesn’t work for me. People sharing field experience and practical knowledge gives you a better understanding of economics.

Highly recommended. Events are obviously really great for networking. Face to face interaction is highly beneficial. Attending professional conferences and events is great in my view.

Participar de eventos e conferências é enriquecedor, pois não apenas possibilita atualizações sobre tendências macroeconômicas, mas também fomenta discussões relevantes sobre o tema. Esses encontros estimulam debates inovadores, proporcionando experiências que ampliam o conhecimento, oferecendo insights valiosos de especialistas atuantes na área, sejam eles profissionais ou pesquisadores.

Eventos y conferencias, tanto de experto en la materia, como de negocios, por ejemplo eventos de cámaras empresariales son muy valiosos para mantenerse actualizado. Los macroeconomistas que están innovando o desarrollando nuevas ideas en esta materia buscan darlas a conocer, y es entonces cuando puedes conocerlas. Además, al exponerlas en eventos públicos, se someten a cierto escrutinio público, en algunos casos incluso hay espacio al debate. Por el lado de los eventos empresariales, puedes conocer desde las distintas preocupaciones macroeconómicas que tienen los agentes económicos, como también conocer las tendencias que podrían cambiar la macroeconomía. Por ejemplo, la IA no surgió de la macroeconomía, sino del lado de los negocios.

Attending events and conferences stands out for me, networking and engaging with different experts promptly puts one on equal footing with others, as perceptions and views are shared. Participating in forums eases up means of asking questions and also provides reassurance as one's views may be justified by experts.

This is by far one of the best practice to gain better understanding of the subject. An individual who's interested in macroeconomics will definitely read a lot of articles and take online course etc. But with the passage of time they tend to forget those things. Only very passionate individuals will try to apply the knowledge in their daily life. Blogging is the best way to retain the knowledge and to contribute to the society.

Your own knowledge is a key for all. Therefore core knowledge base of macroeconomics is permanent and its absorb all changes quickly then your inner findings are very quick and make a powerful platform to enhance your own conclusions which helps to your own destiny plus common man happiness.

This is very important, I think. Applying the knowledge you have. One point to add in this is transparency. Even though data and codes are very easy to share nowadays, it’s still not a norm to share your work in this detailed unless forced to (many economic journals do this). I wish that more often, in reports and other writings would have data and codes attached. This would help the reader, but it would also help the writer to find possible mistakes or clarify misunderstandings.

Otro punto clave, puedes aplicar conocimientos que intervengan en mejores resultados, y contribuir a desarrollos sostenibles.

Applying your knowledge and training your skills is the best way to keep them up to date. I also recommend reading different reports and trying to replicate their results, at least approximately. Banks and international institutions publish many reports using economic models, make use of these reports!

This is also crucial. You should always be refining and improving your knowledge and skills. It’s essential to be able to continue having the highest knowledge on current economic topics.

Voltar ao básico é muito importante, por mais avançado que o seu conhecimento seja, retornar ao básico é importante, revise seus materiais, faça novos treinamentos, cursos, sempre se atualize.

É muito importante sempre se atualizar. Os treinamentos, aconselhamentos, orientações, são de suma importância para o desenvolvimento profissional. Pois o conhecimento é a única forma de nos capacitar!

I feel like I'm belabouring the points discussed by my peers, but a few throughlines definitely stand out. 1. Read wide, read deep (ie, not just surface level). Whether that be journal articles, grey literature, or thought pieces and blogs from interesting think tanks. 2. Relatedly, try not to box yourself in with one method or approach. All too often, we rely on conventional wisdom. While one can't underestimate the usefulness of such wisdom, try branching out of a research comfort zone. 3. MOOCs are your friend. 4. Find an individual or network of individuals who you can discuss techniques and models with. 5. Keep current - the real world is fairly different from a macroeconomic model, so adding some context into a model is welcome.

One thing that I found helpful not only for macroeconomics but also for other fields of expertise was a saying we had at the department: if you want to understand a topic, give a lecture, a seminar or a workshop. Preparing for one of those farces you to dive deeply into the matter as you probably do not want to look stupid when asked questions by the audience. What is true for 'understanding' a topic holds up also for 'keeping up-to-date' with macroeconomics. Be creative, start small - maybe with a presentation for colleagues. Make it a regular brown bag lunch. Or try to get in contact with the local academic community. Try a guest lecture. If you make that a habitus, you will automatically be current in macroeconomics without a doubt.

Staying current in macroeconomics is vital due to the field's constant evolution. To stay informed, read widely from reputable sources such as The Economist and The Wall Street Journal. Engage in online courses for in-depth learning, join dedicated communities to discuss new research, and attend conferences for insights from experts. Applying your knowledge to real-world scenarios, participating in discussions, and presenting findings are essential for practical understanding. This approach ensures that your macroeconomic training remains relevant, enabling informed decision-making in both your career and investments.

One thing I have found helpful is reliance on most recent historical data to create trends that inform the present and future macroeconomic insights. I mean, theory has is place so does data.I use the theory to create my apriori expectation and data to ascertain whether the expectations holds in practice. This creates a balance that most articles lack.

Meu desafio foi sempre tentar alinhar minha formação de economista de mercado, com as inovações ocorridas na academia. O problema, neste caso, é que, infelizmente, a academia se diverge em duas linhas muito antagônicas, uma que defende que "gasto público" é vida, algo particular à sociedade brasileira (uma jabuticaba acadêmica), e outra, em linhagem mais próxima do que pensa o resto do mundo, muitos considerando mainstream, achando que a responsabilidade fiscal é essencial para abrir espaço para um ciclo virtuoso de crescimento. Tendo por optar para esta segunda linha de argumentação. Mas claro, sempre tendo uma abordagem em soma ao que pensa todas as tendências da teoria econômica.
