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. He has published on macroeconomics and finance in peer reviewed journals including the Cambridge Journal of Economics and Metroeconomica.

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. This is a growing and promising field and we believe that to gather a small group of researchers active on those themes\, will facilitate advances in the field\, cross-fertilization of research projects\, and branch new research ideas. \nRegistration is required.

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.

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘Neoliberalism\, Institutional Blending and the Governance of Rural Land’\, Ian Hodge
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 11 October 2017\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Ian Hodge\nTalk Title: ‘Neoliberalism\, Institutional Blending and the Governance of Rural Land’\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 11 October\, 2017 – Ian Hodge will give a talk on ‘Neoliberalism\, Institutional Blending and the Governance of Rural Land’. 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 Cambridge Judge Business School. \nSpeaker:\nIan Hodge is Professor of Rural Economy in the Department of Land Economy and Fellow of Hughes Hall at the University of Cambridge\, where he has worked since 1983. He was Head of Department of Land Economy between 2002-2011. His primary research interests are in rural environmental governance\, policy and economics\, property institutions and rural development. He has previously worked at the Universities of Queensland in Australia and Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK. He has a PhD in Countryside Planning from Wye College\, University of London and a BSc from the University of Reading. \nTalk Overview:\nThere is a large literature on neoliberalism. Over time the literature has expanded to cover a variety of different issues. It is almost universally critical and has become increasingly incoherent and contradictory. One thread within neoliberalism\, focusing on property rights\, casts the debate in terms of public ownership and intervention versus private enterprise and ‘free’ markets. However\, this obscures a more significant trend towards new approaches in governance that fall between these extremes that we term institutional blending. This recognises the major role of civil society\, reallocation of property rights\, provision of assurance and of public\, private and third sector partnerships. It includes a role for an interventionist state that embraces many of the mechanisms that have been developed through neoliberal approaches. These will be illustrated taking examples from rural land management. The discussion questions whether this may represent a post-neoliberal approach to public governance. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (mk24@cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query \n

SUMMARY:Climate Change and International Development: what needs to be done? by Sam Bickersteth
DESCRIPTION:6 December 2017: Climate Change and International Development: what needs to be done? \n\nDecember 2015 marked a high point of multilateralism when 190 countries came together in Paris and agreed to take action on climate change. More than ever action on climate change needs to be taken as extreme climate events become the norm and tipping points ever nearer but in 2017 increased political uncertainty has made progress on the Paris Agreement harder to implement. Sam Bickersteth will provide his perspectives on a future agenda for action in the wake of the latest UN climate talks concluding on Bonn on 17th November 2017. Sam will draws on his experiences from a career in international development and leading the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) over the past seven years. The lecture is part of the University of Greenwich Big Picture Lecture Series and it is co-organised by GPERC and FEPS. \nLocation: room SL101\, University of Greenwich\, Stephen Lawrence Building\nTime: 17:00-19:00. \nNo booking is required by seating will be allocated in a first-come first-serve basis.

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘‘Calculating the Costs of Conflict’\, Ron Smith
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 26 April 2017\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Ron Smith\nTalk Title: ‘‘Calculating the Costs of Conflict’\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 26 April\, 2017 – Ron Smith  will give a talk on ‘Calculating the Costs of Conflict’. 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:\nRon Smith is Professor of Applied Economics at Birkbeck\, University of London\, where he teaches statistics and econometrics. Prior to joining Birkbeck in 1976\, he taught at Cambridge. He has also been visiting professor at London Business School and the University of Colorado. He has written 6 books\, edited another 3 and published over 200 papers mainly in applied econometrics and defence economics. His book Military\nEconomics: the interaction of power and money (Palgrave 2009) was shortlisted for the 2010 Duke of Westminster’s Medal for Military Literature. He has acted as a consultant to a range of bodies including Frontier Economics and the UK National Audit Office on defence projects.\nHe is an Associate Fellow of the Royal United Services Institute and regularly lectures at the UK Defence Academy. He was awarded the 2011 Lewis Fry Richardson lifetime achievement award for contributions to the scientific study of militarised conflict by the European Consortium of Political Research. \nTalk Overview:\nConflict has a major influence on economic development and there is a large literature on the economic costs of military conflict. This presentation uses four questions to structure a discussion of the calculation of conflict costs. The first concerns the purpose of the calculation: why is it being done? The second concerns the counterfactual: what comparison is being made? The third concerns the data: where do the numbers come from? The fourth concerns aggregation and valuation: how are the elements of costs (over outcomes\, time and individuals) combined? The literature is often not clear on the answers to these questions\, tending to take them for granted. However\, the answers are crucial to the calculation and are not merely technical matters of economics and statistics but rest on both the underlying objective of the calculation and fundamental philosophical and ethical judgements. The presentation will draw on “On the heterogenous consequences of civil war” (with Vincenzo Bove and Leandro Elia) Oxford Economic Papers forthcoming and “The Economic Costs of Military Conflict”\, Journal of Peace Research\, 51(2) March 2014 pp. 245 – 256. \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.

SUMMARY:Financialisation and the Periodisation of Capitalism Discussion
DESCRIPTION:IPPE financialisation working group invites to you a discussion on:\nFinancialisation and the periodisation of capitalism \n25th April 2017\, 6-8pm\,\nKhalili Lecture Theatre\, SOAS\, University of London \nAs the concept gains prominence within social sciences\, debates arise about situating financialisation within the history of capitalism. Is financialisation a contingent product of the economic shifts of the 1970s and 1980s? Is it a long-run tendency of capitalism?\nJoin us for for a discussion about these issues with Prof. Photis Lysandrou (City University of London)\, Prof. Simon Mohun (Queen Mary University of London)\, and Prof. Jan Toporowski (SOAS). The speakers will introduce their different viewpoints and discuss some theoretical implications concerning the incorporation of contextual aspects with respect to space and time\, based on questions prepared by the IIPPE financialisation working group.

SUMMARY:Post-Brexit Options for the UK: Combining Legal and Economic Analysis Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The UK government faces a major challenge in formulating a clear plan for Brexit. Its current position is that departing the EU necessarily entails leaving the European Economic Area and customs union. The Prime Minster has said that ‘no deal’ is better than a ‘bad deal’. Thus it is possible that at the end of March 2019\, the UK will fall back on WTO rules. While the government may have worked out the legal and institutional implications of this scenario\, it has not shared this information with the public. By its own admission\, the government has not undertaken any economic analysis of the possible effects of Brexit\, beyond the work carried out by the Treasury before the referendum of June 2016. In these circumstances\, there is an urgent need for informed public debate on the consequences of Brexit. On 30 March 2017 the Cambridge Public Policy Strategic Research Initiative and Centre for Business Research (CBR) will be holding a Workshop to explore the legal and economic context of the momentous decision to trigger Article 50. We will be reporting the state of the art on legal issues which include the WTO option\, migration\, citizen’s rights\, the UK’s ‘exit bill’\, free movement\, taxation\, social policy\, and the legal mechanics of leaving\, including the proposed ‘Great Repeal Act’. We will also be presenting the latest results from the CBR’s economic forecasting model\, UKMOD\, which has earned a reputation for accuracy and even-handedness in its analysis of the effects of Brexit. \nKeynote speaker\nJames Wolffe QC\, Lord Advocate for Scotland \nLegal Issues:\nMigration: Catherine Barnard\nThe WTO Option: Lorand Bartels\nSector-specific regulation: John Bell\nSocial and Economic Policy: Simon Deakin\nTaxation: Julian Ghosh QC\nThe Great Repeal Act: David Howarth\nEU Citizens’ Rights: Kirsty Hughes\nFree Movement: Martin Steinfeld\nThe UK’s ‘Exit Bill’: Michael Waibel \nEconomic Forecast\nEconomic Scenarios Post-Brexit: Graham Gudgin\, Ken Coutts and Neil Gibson \nRegistration\nRegistration is free but places are limited.

SUMMARY:IIPPE Training Workshop – Value and Price after Marx
DESCRIPTION:IIPPE Training Workshop – Value and Price after Marx \nMon 27 March\, SOAS Brunei Gallery (room B102) \nThe International Initiative for Promoting Political Economy (IIPPE) announce their next Training Workshop at SOAS (room B102\, in the Brunei Gallery)\, London on 27 March 2017 (registration from 9.30am). \nSimon Mohun will lead the workshop. In the morning session (10am to 1pm)\, the focus will be on a Marxist approach to the understanding of value and price. The afternoon session will provide a comprehensive survey of approaches to the ‘transformation problem’\, for which a prerequisite is either (and preferably) the morning session or some prior knowledge of the issues involved. In both sessions the emphasis will be on interpretation and logic\, rather than any underlying mathematics. \nThis Workshop will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students\, junior academics and activists who have a particular interest in acquainting themselves with core elements of Marxian political economy. \nPre-registration is essential because of room capacity constraints. Please register by completing the online form. \nTo learn about IIPPE\, their activities\, working groups and events\, access www.iippe.org.

SUMMARY:'Does inequality hamper innovation and growth?' Alberto Russo & ‘A simple formalisation of Minsky's business cycle theory’ by Rob Jump
DESCRIPTION:‘Does inequality hamper innovation and growth?’ by Alberto Russo (Marche Polytechnic University) \nAbstract: The paper builds upon the Agent Based-Stock Flow Consistent model presented in Caiani et al. (2015) to analyze the relationship between income and wealth inequality and economic development. For this sake\, the original model has been amended under three main dimensions: first\, the households sector has been subdivided into workmen\, office workers\, researchers\, and executives which compete on segmented labor markets.  Conversely\, firms are now characterized by a hierarchical organization structure which determines\, according to firms’ output levels\, their demand for each type of workers. Second\, in order to account for the impact of income and wealth distribution on consumption patterns\, different households classes – also representing different income groups – have diversified average propensities to consume and save. Finally\, the model now embeds technological change in an evolutionary flavor\, affecting labor productivity evolution in the consumption sector through product innovation in the capital sector\, where firms invest in R&D and produce differentiated vintages of machineries. The model is then calibrated using realistic values for both income and wealth distribution across different income groups\, and their average propensities to consume. Results of the simulation experiments suggest that more progressive tax schemes and labor market policies aiming to increase low and middle workers’ coordination\, and to support their wage levels\, concur to foster economic development and to reduce inequality\, though the latter seem to be more effective under both respects. The model thus provides some evidence in favor of a wage-led growth regime\, where improvements of middle-low levels workers’ conditions create positive systemic effects\, which eventually trickle up also to high income-profit earners households. \n‘A simple formalisation of Minsky’s business cycle theory’ by Rob Jump (Kingston University) \nAbstract: This paper presents a simple model of Minsky’s business cycle theory. The model is based on the Phillips (1954) continuous time multiplier accelerator model\, where firms have a target debt to income ratio\, rather than a target capital to income ratio. Via a strategy switching mechanism\, fluctuations with a smaller perceived volatility lead to firms reducing their margins of safety by moving towards higher debt to income ratios. This increases volatility\, the economy is destabilised\, and firms increase their margins of safety by moving towards lower debt to income ratios. Hence the cycle repeats itself\, and “stability is destabilising”.  The simple model relies on an approximate aggregation assumption\, and we estimate the approximation bias numerically using techniques from agent based modelling. \nPlease join us for this event as part of the Economic Department Research Seminar Series\, it is free to attend. \nBooking and further information: http://www.kingston.ac.uk/events/item/2502/22-mar-2017-economics-research-seminar-with-alberto-russo-and-rob-jump/ \nContact: Antoine Godin (A.Godin@kingston.ac.uk) \nVenue: JG 3013 \nHow to find us: The seminar takes place at Penryhn Road Campus (Kingston upon Thames\, Surrey\, KT1 2EE).

SUMMARY:St Catharine's Political Economy Seminar - '‘Expansionary Fiscal Policy – Open Economy Issues’\, Jonathan Perraton
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 8 March 2017\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Jonathan Perraton\nTalk Title: ‘‘Expansionary Fiscal Policy – Open Economy Issues’\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 08 March\, 2017 – Jonathan Perraton will give a talk on ‘Expansionary Fiscal Policy – Open Economy Issues’. 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:\nJonathan Perraton is Senior Lecturer in Economics at the University of Sheffield and an Associate Fellow of the Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute. He has published on economic globalisation\, balance of payments constrained growth\, political economy and economic methodology. He is a past coordinator of the Post-Keynesian Economics Study Group. \nTalk Overview:\nMuch of the recent discussion of expansionary fiscal policy has abstracted from open economy issues. The degree of openness of an economy would be expected to affect the multiplier; further\, the size\, composition and financing of any expansionary package would be expected to affect the real exchange rate. Some studies have indicated particular responses here from public infrastructure investment. The response of interest rates determined in global markets is crucial; this is related here to earlier economics and political economy work on the feasibility of Keynesian policies under globalisation. Some of this earlier work pointed to possible risk premium effects limiting the effectiveness of Keynesian policies. This work is revisited\, drawing on evidence from before and since the Global Financial Crisis. \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.
