SUMMARY:The Cambridge Trust for New Thinking in Economics (CTNTE) Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Cambridge Trust for New Thinking in Economics (CTNTE) annual conference has a title of ‘ Inequality: trends\, causes\, consequences\, relevant policies’\nThe conference will be held on Thursday 22 March\, 2018 at St Catharine’s College\, Cambridge\, UK\nThe CTNTE 2018 conference will bring together a carefully selected set of eight papers by renown academics across Europe on inequalities in economic systems. Inequality has been considered a problem by many academics and policy makers for a long time now and recently there has been some evidence of increasing inequalities in the society. Our speakers will focus on the causes and consequences of inequality along with the importance of tackling inequality and recommend potential policies to reduce it\, for example\, tax reforms. The talks will cover different aspects of inequality – from income to gender – and explore links between inequality and economic growth or financialisaton and financial crisis. \nDetailed information regarding the conference programme\, speakers and papers is available online at http://www.neweconomicthinking.org/prog_March2018.htm. \nThe standard conference fee is £139\, but a special rate of £54 is available for academics and not-for-profit organisations. We also offer a number of FREE places for postgraduate students\, which are granted on first come\, first served basis. \nThe places are limited\, so please register quickly by filling in a registration form at http://www.neweconomicthinking.org/register_2018.htm

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘‘Bank Credit Rating Changes\, Capital Structure Adjustments and Lending’’\, Claudia Girardone
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 14 March 2018\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Claudia Girardone\nTalk Title:‘Bank Credit Rating Changes\, Capital Structure Adjustments and Lending’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nThe next St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar in the series on the Economics of Austerity\, will be held on 14 March\, 2018 – Claudia Girardone will give a talk on “Bank Credit Rating Changes\, Capital Structure Adjustments and Lending”. The seminar will be held in the Ramsden Room at St Catharine’s College from 6.00-7.30 pm. All are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Judge Business School. \nSpeaker:\nClaudia Girardone is Professor of Banking and Finance at Essex Business School of the University of Essex. She is also Director of the Essex Finance Centre (EFiC) and the School’s Director of Research. Professor Girardone has published over 50 articles on various aspects of banking and finance in books and peer-reviewed international journals. She is a co-author of the textbook Introduction to Banking (FT Pearson Education\, 2015). She is currently on the editorial board of several journals including the Journal of Financial Economic Policy and The European Journal of Finance. Her current research areas are on banking sector performance and stability\, bank corporate governance\, the industrial structure of banking and access to finance. \nTalk Overview:\nThis contribution examines the causal effect of bank credit rating changes on bank capital structure decisions. Banks adjust their capital structure following a credit rating downgrade. Adjustments involve: leverage\, rating sensitive liabilities and lending. Rating upgrades do not affect capital structure activities suggesting that banks target minimum rating levels. In our study\, we also exploit the asymmetric impact of downgrades of banks based in Greece\, Ireland\, Italy\, Spain and Portugal during the EU sovereign debt crisis. This asymmetric effect leads to greater capital adjustments\, reductions in long-term funding and lending of banks from those countries relative to other banks. Our results are consistent with the expectation of discrete cost (benefits) associated with rating changes. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (mk24@cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘Technological Unemployment: Myth or Reality’\, Robert Skidelsky
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 7 March 2018\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Robert Skidelsky\nTalk Title:‘Technological Unemployment: Myth or Reality’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nThe next St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar in the series on the Economics of Austerity\, will be held on 07 March\, 2018 – Robert Skidelsky will give a talk on “Technological Unemployment: Myth or Reality”. The seminar will be held in the Ramsden Room at St Catharine’s College from 6.00-7.30 pm. All are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Judge Business School. \nSpeaker:\nRobert Skidelsky is Emeritus Professor of Political Economy at Warwick University. His three-volume biography of John Maynard Keynes (1983\,1992\, 2000) won five prizes and his book on the financial crisis –Keynes: The Return of the Master – was published in September 2010. He was made a member of the House of Lords in 1991 (he sits on the cross-benches) and elected a fellow of the British Academy in 1994. How Much is Enough? The Love of Money and the Case for the Good Life\, co-written with his son Edward\, was published in July 2012. He is also the author of Britain in the 20th Century: A Success? (Vintage\, 2014) and editor of The Essential Keynes (Penguin Classics\, 2015). His most recent publications are as co-editor of Who Runs the Economy? (Palgrave\, 2016) and Austerity Vs Stimulus (Palgrave\, 2017). \nTalk Overview:\nThis contribution’s starting point is Keynes’s little essay of 1930\, Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren: ‘technological unemployment…means unemployment due to our discovery of means of economising the use of labour outrunning the pace at which we can find new uses for labour’. Two questions arise: will the future be different from the past\, when we were always able to absorb labour displaced by machines? There is no agreed view. There are many estimates of the jobs ‘at risk’ from automation by 2030\, ranging from 30% to 50%. There is no agreement on whether\, or how soon\, the jobs displaced will be replaced\, i.e. whether there will be a net job loss. The majority view is that there will be transitional job losses\, but no permanent ones. Most of the discussion treats automation as not just desirable\, but irreversible: part of the scientific momentum\, which defines modern civilisation. This needs challenging\, since it appears to leave the human future to machines. Second\, it is generally agreed that\, as in the past\, automation will enable a reduction in hours worked. However\, the argument that this will be consistent with maintaining or increasing median income needs to be challenged. Evidence is that median incomes have been stagnant and even falling\, as most productivity gains go to the rich. Extra leisure will surely be unwanted if it means lower real incomes. The response to automation cannot be left to the market. It requires a social decision concerning the speed and type of automation\, and a social response to the problems it creates. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (mk24@cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.

He is currently working with Graham Gudgin a macro-economic model and forecasts for the UK economy and on the economic impact of Brexit. \nTalk Overview:\nThe global capital imbalances constituted a primary factor for the Eurozone debt crisis and amplified the divergence between the core countries and the periphery. For the case of Greece there exist three ‘alternative’ mainstream explanations of the crisis and the subsequent recession: The Greek (political and institutional inefficiency)\, the European (institutional incompetence and extended corruption) and the I.M.F. (debt overhang\, necessity of “hard” budget constraints\, public investments and expansionary monetary policy). The two academic strands that dominate the debate are the one of the importance of debt overhung and rational expectations and the one of heterogeneous general equilibrium models. We argue that the exit from the crisis warrants:\n1. Debt restructuring and nationalisation of N.P.L.s\n2. Reduction of public sector profligacy and institutional efficiency\n3. Public investments and investments for internationally traded goods\n4. Tax relief (corporate and property taxation); 5. Re-stabilisation of market expectations and creditworthiness. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (mk24@cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.

He is currently working with Graham Gudgin a macro-economic model and forecasts for the UK economy and on the economic impact of Brexit. \nTalk Overview:\nThis contribution examines in detail the predictions of professional economic forecasters on the economic impact of Brexit. It shows how these were flawed\, and speculates on why they are no longer quoted. It begins with the frequently repeated claim\, that membership of the EEC/EU has been good for economic growth in the UK. This is followed by a brief reprise of our critique of the gravity model work of HMT and OECD. The approach of the Centre for Economic Performance at the LSE\, uses a different approach\, but again\, in our view\, is flawed. All of this work predicts that the volume of UK trade with the EU will fall substantially after Brexit\, with no offsetting gains in trade with non-EU countries. Around half of the predicted declines in GDP\, come from a calculation that trade losses will have a major negative knock-on impact on productivity. Our update of their evidence suggests that for advanced economies no such link exists between trade and productivity.\nThis is not an argument in favour of Brexit. It is instead to question the ability of the economics profession to provide high quality policy analysis on issues of national importance. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (mk24@cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.

SUMMARY:CBR seminar: “Japan’s corporate governance and value creation via equity spread”\, Dr. Ryohei Yanagi
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday 5th December 2017\nTime: 12:00 noon\nVenue: Ground Floor Meeting Room\, 10 Trumpington Street\, Cambridge\, CB2 1QA\nSpeaker: Dr. Ryohei Yanagi \nDr. Ryohei Yanagi will give a presentation entitled “Japan’s corporate governance and value creation via equity spread”. The focus of this presentation will be the urgent need for Japanese businesses to have greater awareness of cost of capital\, which traditionally has been overlooked in favour of simple operational profitability. His view is that lack of understanding of this key principle is damaging the whole Japanese economy and hindering the revival that the Abe administration seeks. \nDr. Yanagi is the CFO of Eisai\, one of Japan’s leading pharmaceutical companies\, which has established a reputation for its innovative corporate governance. While working as Eisai’s CFO\, Dr. Yanagi holds posts at two Japanese universities as a visiting lecturer and has been campaigning for greater financial awareness among Japanese management for many years. His work as a member of various expert committees gives him a special insight into the debates underlying current efforts to refocus Japanese corporate governance practices. \nSpace is limited so to secure a place please email Rachel Wagstaff at r.wagstaff@cbr.cam.ac.uk

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – "From austerity to immigrants as ‘significant others’\, Liliana Harding
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 22 November 2017\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Liliana Harding\nTalk Title: ‘From austerity to immigrants as ‘significant others’ in economic policy changes’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nThe next St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar in the series on the Economics of Austerity\, will be held on 22 November\, 2017 – Liliana Harding will give a talk on “From austerity to immigrants as ‘significant others’ in economic policy changes”. The seminar will be held in the Ramsden Room at St Catharine’s College from 6.00-7.30 pm. All are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Judge Business School. \nSpeaker:\nLiliana Harding is a lecturer in Economics at the University of East Anglia (UEA)\, in Norwich. Dr Liliana Harding has a long-standing research interest in the political economy of migration\, while her teaching is focussed in the areas of labour economics and European economies. She is currently the convenor of the East Anglia Research Migration Network\, an interdisciplinary research group at the UEA designed to facilitate participatory action research in topics related to international migration. Her research interests further extend to the development of economic systems\, regional economies and the implications of public arts and culture for wellbeing and urban economies. \nTalk Overview:\nIn the same way as the resolution of the financial crisis has been sought through austerity across the board\, migration policy beyond the Great Recession has focused on downward revisions of ‘acceptable levels’ of immigration.  And as concerns about the implications of austerity on rising inequalities and general access to public services are rising\, limitations to migrants’ access to the labour market and the welfare system are now sold as localised patches to society-wide challenges. In this context\, this talk proposes to explore the extent to which a long period of austerity has warranted the call for more restrictive immigration policies\, and explores the significance of distributional effects of immigration. It reviews the economic effects estimated for the UK from migration and its expected restriction linked to Brexit\, and stresses the role of skill in the economic migration debate.  Finally\, the talk reflects on the significance of mass migration flows for economies experiencing it at various points in time\, and makes a brief reference to the recent refugee crisis in Europe. \n  \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (mk24@cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.

SUMMARY:China's shadow banking: New growth model or the next Lehman Brothers? Debate
DESCRIPTION:A debate between Christopher Balding and Daniela Gabor\, moderated by Jo Michell \nThursday November 2nd\, 4-5.30pm \nFaculty of Business and Law building Room 2×242 UWE Bristol\, Frenchay Campus All welcome\, registration not required. \nSince the global financial crisis\, shadow banking in China has grown rapidly as a result of financial repression\, macro policy\, and the politics of local-central government relationships.  Is this the financial Wild West\, the escape valve of a financial system repressed by the long hand of the state or a carefully engineered process to bring market forces into the financial system? How successful are China¹s policies to transform shadow banking into securities-market based finance? Have they really addressed concerns about implicit state guarantees? And how do reforms fit with the need for deep and liquid securities markets if Reminibi internationalisation is to succeed? \nChristopher Balding is an Associate Professor in Business and Economics at the HSBC Business School of Peking University Graduate School in Shenzhen\, China.  One of the leading experts on the Chinese economy and financial markets\, he is a Bloomberg View contributor and advises governments\, central banks\, and investors around the world.  He has contributed to Bloomberg\, the Wall Street Journal\, the Financial Times\, BBC\, CNBC\, and Al-Jazeera. He tweets at @BaldingsWorld \nDaniela Gabor is Professor of Economics and Macrofinance at UWE Bristol. Her research project ŒManaging shadow money¹\, funded by the Institute for New Economic Thinking since 2015\, explores shadow banking in the US\, Europe and China.  One of the project papers\, ŒGoodbye (Chinese) shadow banking\, hello market-based finance¹\, will be published in Development and Change in December 2017. She is finalising a book manuscript on Shadow Money. She blogs at criticalfinance.org <http://criticalfinance.org/> and tweets at @DanielaGabor <http://twitter.com/danielagabor> \nJo Michell is Associate Professor in Economics at UWE Bristol. He has a PhD in Economics on from SOAS University of London\, written about the Chinese banking and financial system. His research interests include macroeconomics\, money and banking\, and income distribution.

SUMMARY:Economic growth\, inequality and finance in historical perspective workshop
DESCRIPTION:Economic growth\, inequality and finance in historical perspective \nThursday\, 2 Nov 2017\, 9.30-17.20 \nKingston University\, Penrhyn Road Campus\, JG3010 \nThis workshop is part of the INET project ‘Income Distribution\, Asset Prices\, and Aggregate Demand Formation\, 1850-2010: A Post-Keynesian Approach to Historical Macroeconomic Data’ and is organised by the Political Economy Research Group and CResCID. The project utilizes long-run macroeconomic and financial data (100+ years) to explore the interactions of inequality\, distribution between capital and labour\, growth regimes\, asset prices\, and debt. \nThe workshop will take place on Thursday 2nd November at Kingston University\, London. The aim is to create an opportunity for thorough discussion on the possibilities of historical data and historical perspectives in macroeconomic analyses of the nexus of inequality\, economic growth and the financial sector.

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘How corporate governance is central to economic policy’\, Ciaran Driver
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 25 October 2017\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Ciaran Driver\nTalk Title: ‘How corporate governance is central to economic policy’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nThe next St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar in the series on the Economics of Austerity\, will be held on 25 October\, 2017 – Ciaran Driver will give a talk on ‘How corporate governance is central to economic policy’. The seminar will be held in the Ramsden Room at St Catharine’s College from 6.00-7.30 pm. All are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Judge Business School. \nSpeaker:\nCiaran Driver is Professor of Economics in the School of Finance and Management at SOAS University of London. His research interests include capital investment\, industrial economics\, innovation and corporate governance on which he has published widely. He has held visiting posts at the Australian National University and Stellenbosch University\, has had attachments to several global business schools\, and has advised various national and international public bodies. He co-authored with Paul Temple The Unbalanced Economy: a policy appraisal\, Palgrave-Macmillan (2014) Beyond Shareholder Value (2013)\, with colleagues at the TUC and NPI; and he contributed a chapter on innovation and finance to the Sage Handbook on Corporate Governance (2012). An edited compendium on corporate governance (with Grahame Thompson) will be published by OUP in 2018. Recent journal articles deal with the effects of corporate governance on R&D (Research Policy 2012); the economics of advertising (Journal of Economic Surveys 2015) and the perverse effects of high-powered executive pay (Industrial and Corporate Change 2017). He is a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences and a Trustee of the New Economics Foundation. Full publications and further information can be found on Researchgate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ciaran_Driver \nTalk Overview:\n \nThis talk concerns the economic effects of corporate governance systems in advanced countries and how the design of governance interacts with economic policy. It starts off with a reprise of recent trends in corporate governance theory\, distinguishing the arguments for shareholder value (including agency theory)\, from critical stakeholder perspectives such as organization theory; property rights approaches; and externalities. The implications of the governance form for the economy are then discussed in terms of forward commitments such as capital investments and R&D and the time-horizon over which these are assessed; pay-out in the form of dividends and buybacks; and effects on labour and work commitment. The evidence for corporate governance effects on macroeconomic performance is assessed with reference to country studies and the variety of capitalism literature. Changes to the corporate governance system are considered by discussing which particular problems of economic policy are responsive to chosen governance reforms\, ranging over: managerial approaches; dual-class shares; engagement of investors; and stakeholder representation. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (m.kitson@jbs.cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.
