The MORPEP project (Monetary Policy and Energy Prices) at TU Chemnitz focuses on the effects of energy prices and taxation on demand, as well as the distributional effects of green fiscal policies.
In partnership with Wiiw, MORPEP examines the impacts of conventional monetary policy on output, inflation, and employment. This project is led by Sebastian Gechert, full professor of Macroeconomics at TU Chemnitz and expert in Meta Analysis with more than 15 years of experience working on European macroeconomic policy issues.
