Cities in Transformation: Processes, Problems and Policies
2016-07-14 09:00 - 2016-07-15 17:00 | McGrath Centre, St Catharine’s College, Cambridge, United Kingdom
Major cities are facing an unprecedented set of economic, social and environmental challenges. There is mounting evidence that cities are demonstrating very different capacities to adapt, cope with, and respond to such challenges and this is leading to diverse and unpredictable outcomes. The aim of this conference is to examine the different experiences of cities as they transform. The first part of the conference (morning of Thursday 14 July), will give an overview of cities in transformation in various parts of the world (e.g. United Kingdom, Germany, United States, China). The afternoon of Thursday 14 July will then be dedicated to a discussion of the implications for policies to address spatially unbalanced growth among the cities. The sessions on Friday 15 July are reserved for particular aspects of urban transformation and resilience (e.g. role of institutions, implications of new technologies, consequences of austerity, possibilities offered by big data and smart city technologies, etc.).

2016-07-14 09:00 - 2016-07-16 17:00 | Kingston University, Penrhyn Road, Kingston, Surrey, , KT1 2EE, United Kingdom
PKSG, PERG Kingston and KU Rethinking Economics are organising a workshop on the ‘Introduction to Post Keynesian Econommics and Political Economy’. The workshop is aimed at students of economics and social sciences. As the aim of Post Keynesian Economics and Political Economy ultimately is to provide the foundation for progressive economic policies, it may also be of interest for a broader audience.
The workshop will take place at Kingston University, in the John Galsworthy Building, Penrhyn Road, Kingston, Surrey, KT1 2EE.
To register for the event please go to the Booking Webpage.

This event is part of the Economic Department Research Seminar Series.
The seminar is free of charge but booking is essential to attend the event.

'Maynard Keynes in King’s College and the General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money' Conference
2016-10-08 09:00 - 18:00 | King’s College
The event will feature remarks from the leading UK and US post-Keynesian scholars Victoria Chick and Paul Davidson. Three presentations will give accounts of post-war policy, contrasting the golden age with the liberalised era, in Germany (by Jörg Bibow), the UK (by myself) and France (by Renaud du Tertre and Hélène de Largentaye).
The event is organised jointly by Hélène de Largentaye and Jean Michel Massing. Hélène graduated in economics from Kings and was the first Secretary General of the Conseil d’analyse economique, founded by the French socialist Prime Minister ( 1997-2002) . Her father translated the General Theory into French in 1939 just before the advent of the Vichy regime which delayed the publication until 1942. Hélène will tell this fascinating story with Ghislain Deleplace, and Harald Hagemann will discuss the German translation (1936) .
Jean Michel has also organised morning sessions around Keynes’s wider interests, in particular his art collection and his book collection.

‘Web-Enabled Policy Advice – Modelling the Saudi Arabian Labour Market’ by Davoud Taghawi-Nejad (University of Oxford)
Booking and further information: http://www.kingston.ac.uk/events/item/2338/26-oct-2016-economics-research-seminar-with-davoud-taghawinejad-and-willem-spanjers/
Contact: Antoine Godin (A.Godin@kingston.ac.uk)
Abstract: One of Saudi Arabia’s principal problems is unemployment of Saudi nationals, which is, at least partially, caused by the fact that seven million expatriates reside in the country and hold the majority of the available jobs. In order to address this problem we created a data-driven agent-based policy simulator of the Saudi labour market. The purpose of our model was to evaluate Saudi Arabia’s policy options to increase employment of Saudi nationals: taxes on expatriates, quotas, and minimum wages (in general and for expatriates).
The model consists of Saudi and expatriate workers and Firms that hire employees. Firms prefer to hire workers with the best productivity – cost profile, but hire in accordance with the law. Their behaviour has been calibrated with time-series and firm-level data. It is possible to run the simulation with different policies, which influence the firm’s decisions and therefore the simulation outcomes. With the agent-based model we showed the best policy answer for each sector. This model was delivered not only as part of an academic paper but also as a web-enabled policy simulator. Beyond testing and designing policy, the model could also be used to train policymakers’ intuition and understanding of the labour market. In the second half of the talk I will address the use of policy simulators in policy advice and our experience in working with the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Labour in particular.
‘Liquidity Provision, Ambiguous Asset Returns and the Financial Crisis’ by Willem Spanjers (Kingston University)
Abstract: For an economy with dysfunctional intertemporal financial markets the financial sector is modelled as a competitive banking sector offering deposit contracts. In a setting similar to Allen and Gale (1998, [1]) properties of the optimal liquidity provision are analysed for illiquid assets with ambiguous returns. In the context of the model, ambiguity – i.e. incalculable risk – leads to dynamically inconsistent investor behaviour. If the financial sector fails to recognize the presence of ambiguity, unanticipated fundamental crises may occur, which are incorrectly blamed on investors ‘loosing their nerves’ and ‘panicking’.
The basic mechanism of the current financial crisis resembles a banking panic in the presence of ambiguous asset returns. The combination of providing additional liquidity and supporting distressed financial institutions implements the regulatory policy suggested by the model.
A credible commitment to such ‘bail-out policy’ does not create a moral hazard problem. Rather, it implements the second best efficient outcome by discouraging excessive caution. Reducing ambiguity by increasing stability, transparency and predictability – as suggested by ordo-liberalism and the ‘Freiburger Schule’ – enhances ex-ante welfare.

'The Ontology of Terrorism' with Professor Barry Smith
2016-11-09 16:00 - 18:00 | University College London
‘The Ontology of Terrorism’ with Professor Barry Smith.
Date: 9th of Nov 2016
Venue: School of Oriental and African Studies, London, Russell Square, Room L67 (main Building of Soas)
Time: 4-6 pm
Abstract:
Notoriously, intelligence agencies face the problem of Connecting the Dots. Connecting, here, means not only cross-identifying the individuals referred to in different sources, but also combining in useful ways all the data about such individuals. Ontologies allow analysts to harvest combinable information from messy inputs by providing consistent sets of terms for describing the entities involved. Suppose, for example, that ontology terms have been used to tag collections of heterogeneous source data about, say, persons in Baghdad. Analysts can then use the results to identify all available data regarding, say, persons who speak Armenian, or persons with expertise in Java programming; and they can do this independently of the type of data (text, images, audio)which served as inputs. To be effective, however, ontologies need to contain not just terms but also definitions. To illustrate how this works we will consider some simple examples of ontology building, concluding with an ontological approach to the definition of terrorism.
Short Bio:
Barry Smith studied philosophy in Oxford and Manchester, and currently works in the University at Buffalo, NY, where he is Director of the National Center for Ontological Research. Smith’s work in applied ontology is well known especially in the fields of biology and medicine, but his ideas are now being applied in a range of different military and intelligence initiatives. He has worked also on ontology projects relating to legal and economic institutions, and since 2000 he has served as consultant to Hernando de Soto, Director of the Institute for Liberty and Democracy in Peru, on projects relating to the advancement of property and business rights among the poor in developing countries.

The gender lens of feminist economics will also be considered, together with institutional perspectives and contributions from other disciplines.
Participants from government, industry and the university sector are warmly invited to attend and PhD students are especially welcome. This seminar will be followed, on Wednesday 30 November, by a postgraduate workshop, organised by OPEG research students.
