SUMMARY:8th PKES Summer School - Introduction to Post-Keynesian Economics and Political Economy
DESCRIPTION:8th PKES Summer School – Introduction to Post-Keynesian Economics and Political Economy\nUniversity of Greenwich\nRoom None\, Park Row\, SE10 9LS\, London.\n26 Jun 2019 9:30 a.m. –28 Jun 2019 4:30 p.m. \nThis three-day summer school at the University of Greenwich introduces Post-Keynesian Economics as an alternative to mainstream neoclassical economic theory and neoliberal economic policy. Key assumptions in Post Keynesian Economics are that individuals face fundamental uncertainty about the future; there is a central role for ‘animal spirits’ in the determination of investment decisions; inflation is the result of unresolved distributional conflicts; money is an endogenous creation of the private banking system; unemployment is determined by effective demand on the goods markets; financial markets are prone to periodic boom-bust cycles. \nPost Keynesian theory is part of a broader Political Economy approach which highlights the social conflict and power relations between classes such as labour\, capital and finance and social groups stratified along the lines of gender and ethnicity. Economic analysis should thus be rooted in a historic and institutional setting. \nThe summer school 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 be of interest for a broader audience. \nProgram \nWednesday\, 26 June\, 9.30am – 6.30 pm \n\nWelcome and opening\nPost Keynesian Economics\, Introduction & Overview\n(Engelbert Stockhammer\, King’s College London)\nEffective Demand vs Says Law in Marx\, Keynes and Kalecki\n(Tomas Rotta\, University of Greenwich)\nEconomic Policy in Europe\n(Özlem Onaran\, University of Greenwich)\nPanel Discussion: Post Keynesian Economic Policy\n(Engelbert Stockhammer\, Tomas Rotta\, Özlem Onaran)\n\nThursday\, 27 June\, 9.30am – 6.00pm \n\nDevelopment in Post Keynesian and Marxist theories\n(Christina Wolf\, Kingston University)\nMoney in the Economy: A Post-Keynesian Perspective\n(Jo Michell\, University of the West of England)\nDistributional and Ecological Challenges to our Economic System\n(Rafael Wildauer\, University of Greenwich)\nStudent Working Groups\n\nFriday\, 28 June\, 10.30am – 4.30pm \n\nPost-Keynesian and Political Economy Approaches to Economic Policy: Can Global Capitalism be Tamed? \n(Gary Dymski\, Leeds University)\nStudent working groups in preparation of the Concluding Panel\nConcluding panel: The State of Political Economy and Progressive Economic Policy.

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘Industrial Policy in the UK' by Diane Coyle
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 24 April 2019\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Diane Coyle\nTalk Title: ‘Industrial Policy in the UK’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nAll 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:\nDiane Coyle was previously Professor of Economics at the University of Manchester and has held a number of public service roles including Vice Chair of the BBC Trust (2006-2014)\, member of the Competition Commission (2001-2009)\, and member of the Migration Advisory Committee (2009-2014).\nDiane Coyle is currently a member of the Natural Capital Committee\, an expert adviser to the National Infrastructure Commission and a member of the Council of Economic Advisers. Diane Coyle was awarded a CBE for her contribution to the public understanding of economics in the 2018 New Year Honours. Diane Coyle is heading research in the fields of public policy economics\, technology\, industrial strategy and global inequality.\nDiane Coyle is currently the Bennett Professor of Public Policy\, and Fellow of Churchill College\, University of Cambridge. \nTalk Overview:\nThe disparity between the least and most productive regions in the UK is wide by the standards of many other OECD economies. While there are many contributory factors to the poor economic outcomes of many UK regions\, this paper argues that the concentration of public investment is in and around London and the South East. The appraisal process for infrastructure investment projects follows the methodological set out in the Treasury’s Green Book\, with major funding allocation decisions almost wholly centralised. In this paper\, Diane Coyle argues that this methodology has reinforced the regional imbalance of the UK economy; that recent changes to the appraisal methods are welcome but unlikely by themselves to redress the London bias in infrastructure decisions; and that although evidence-based appraisal is important\, infrastructure investments also need to be based on a strategic view about economic development for the whole of the UK. \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 – ‘The Global Commodity System in the 21st Century’ by Photis Lysandrou
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 17 April 2019\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Photis Lysandrou\nTalk Title: ‘The Global Commodity System in the 21st Century’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nAll 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:\nPhotis Lysandrou is Research Professor at City University Political Economy Research Centre (CITYPERC)\, Department of International Politics\, City University of London. His current research interests are in the areas of the global finance\, shadow banking\, corporate governance and the political economy of Europe. His recent journal publications include “The Colonisation of the Future: An Alternative View of Financialisation and its Portents”\, Journal of Post Keynesian Economics\, December 2016\, and “The Explosive Growth of the US ABCP Market Between 2004 and 2007: A Search for Yield Story” (co-author\, Mimoza Shabani)\, Journal of Post Keynesian Economics\, March\, 2017. His most recent book is ‘Commodity: The Global Commodity System in the 21st Century’ published by Routledge. \nTalk Overview:\nThe purpose of this contribution is to provide a generalising into the contemporary global economic condition. To this end\, it deploys an analytical framework whose basic unit of analysis is the commodity principle as defined by Karl Marx. During Marx’s lifetime that principle was only dominant in a few regions and even then merely encompassed the labour power and capital capacities in addition to their material outputs. By the end of the 20th century the commodity principle had not only been stretched to encompass the entire globe and but also deepened to encompass the public capacity of government in addition to the private capacities and financial securities in addition to material goods and services. Thus the contemporary global economic condition is viewed from the standpoint of this newly emergent global commodity system. The seminar will first discuss the structure\, genesis and operation of the global commodity system before concluding with some proposals for controlling the system. The key proposal will be a call for the establishment of a global tax authority charged with the dual responsibility of coordinating national tax regimes and of implanting a global wealth tax. \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:Frontiers of Heterodox Macroeconomics Policies Conference
DESCRIPTION:In the past few decades and intensified since the global financial crises of August 2007\, heterodox macroeconomics has developed apace and its scope has broadened in a number of directions. The purpose of The Cambridge Trust for New Thinking in Economics’ next conference is to review the ‘state of the art’ in heterodox macroeconomics\, its strengths and weaknesses and future directions. Heterodox macroeconomics has broadened its scope through gender macroeconomics\, ecological macroeconomics and further incorporated income distribution and inequality into macroeconomics analysis. New macroeconomic models\, especially the stock-flow consistent modelling have become widely used modes of analysis. Money and finance\, monetary policy and fiscal policy as well as other policies have been discussed widely. The focus of this conference will be on all these issues and other as necessary. \nThis conference is being run by The Cambridge Trust for New Thinking in Economics.

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar - 'Trade and Development: Why a 'No Deal' Brexit Would be an Economic Catastrophe' by Terry Barker
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 6 March February 2019\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Terry Barker\nTalk Title: ‘’Trade and Development: Why a ‘No Deal’ Brexit Would be an Economic Catastrophe’’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nAll 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:\nTerry Barker is Professor and Founder of the Cambridge Trust for New Thinking in Economics and a Senior Department Fellow in the Department of Land Economy\, University of Cambridge. He holds an Honorary Chair in the School of Environmental Sciences in the University of East Anglia\, UK. He has written on various aspects of trade\, including the variety hypothesis for international trade\, international competitiveness\, effective protection\, the import content of UK final demand categories\, and foreign trade in multi-sectoral models. See: https://econpapers.repec.org/RAS/pba547.htm \nTalk Overview:\nTrade is a feature of economic growth and development over location and time. The import function is a critical component in Keynesian theory for open economies. Banking and insurance historically developed in response to the gains and risks from intercity and international trade. Underlying the UK’s trade and development are the networks of institutions\, known as the Single European Market\, and many regulations and instruments at the EU level. A no-deal Brexit would inflict major damage on the UK’s trade and development and threatens the effectiveness and efficiency of the UK’s environment and energy policies. The seminar will address why the no-deal threat is so serious in terms of the fundamental question of how markets evolve to generate public and private goods and protect the environment. A no-deal damages the process of British specialisation and regulation of production\, weakening innovation and raising polluting emissions. A lower exchange rate to offset weaker exporting will shift the economy away from high-value quality products and jobs towards more price-competitive goods and services. It will increase inequalities by raising food and energy prices. It will further concentrate activity in the south-east and lead to unemployment in areas relying on manufacturing for export. \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 - 'Why Did Economists Fail to Predict the Arab Uprisings?’ by Hassan Hakimian
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 27 February 2019\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Hassan Hakimian\nTalk Title: ‘Why Did Economists Fail to Predict the Arab Uprisings?’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nAll 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:\nHassan Hakimian is Director of the London Middle East Institute and a Reader in Economics at SOAS\, University of London. He has published on Middle Eastern economies with a special focus on Iran as well as on human resources and labour markets. His most recent book (co-edited with Parvin Alizadeh) is Iran and the Global Economy: Petro Populism\, Islam and Economic Sanctions (Routledge\, 2014). His current research is focused on inclusive growth in the MENA region and the economics of Arab uprisings. Hassan Hakimian is a Founding member and currently the President of the ‘International Iranian Economic Association (IIEA)’ and a Research Fellow and member of the Advisory Committee of the ‘Economic Research Forum (ERF)’ in Cairo. He is the Founder and Series Editor for the ‘Routledge Political Economy of the Middle East and North Africa’\, which he launched in 2003 and is currently editing the Routledge Handbook on the Middle East Economy. \nTalk Overview:\nEconomists have a less than happy record of predicting economic crises. Forecasting political upheavals is arguably even more of a challenge. This is partly conceptual since the mainstream economics’ focus on the equilibrium-seeking behaviour of homo economicus guided by rationale choice is ill-equipped to deal with social and political ruptures and uprisings. It is also partly empirical. Economists’ interest in economic fundamentals may miss out important points about mass welfare and material conditions of the population at large. From this perspective a raft of pertinent questions arises in the context of the unforeseen but tumultuous uprisings that rocked Arab countries after 2010/11: Were economists oblivious (not looking)? Were they focused on the wrong indicators? Perhaps weak inferences led them astray? Were the data flawed or did their framework lack sufficient analytical insight? \nThis talk questions the link between political and economic cycles.Hassan Hakimian argues that as with the Iranian Revolution of 1979\, the decade before the Arab uprisings experienced growth – not recession or stagnation – in both cases buoyed by favourable international oil prices. By formulating the case for understanding ‘inclusive growth’ in the region\, Hassan Hakimian questions the popular perception that posits the roots of uprisings in economic downturns and immiserisation. \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 - 'The Changing State and the 2019 Spending Review' by Paul Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 13 February 2019\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Thomas Pope\nTalk Title: ‘’The Changing State and the 2019 Spending Review’’\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 13 February 2019. Thomas Pope will give a talk on “The Changing State and the 2019 Spending Review”. 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:\nThomas Pope is a Research Economist at the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Thomas works in the tax sector. His main areas of interest include firm investment and the effects of the tax system on large and small businesses. He also works on the public finances \nTalkover:\nLater this year we should hear the outcome of the spending review – arguably the most important non-Brexit related decision of this parliament. A decade after the financial crisis we are still experiencing its consequences in much lower living standards than we might have expected and also in much lower levels of government spending. After facing the biggest deficit in peacetime history\, since\n2010 the government has implemented the biggest set of spending cuts since at least the 1940s. Yet in many ways governments since 2010 have followed exactly the priorities of previous administrations such that health is taking an ever growing fraction of all spending. Thomas Pope will trace the changes in public finances and public spending\, set out some of the options and challenges in the forthcoming spending review\, as well as looking at opposition policy. He will argue that future pressures on public spending are unlikely to be accommodated unless the size of the state finally grows or our demands on it change dramatically. \n  \nPlease contact the seminar organisers\nPhilip 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 - ‘Fiscal Consequences of Unconventional Monetary and Credit Policies’ by Yaprak Tavman
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 16 January 2019\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker:  Yaprak Tavman\nTalk Title: ‘Fiscal Consequences of Unconventional Monetary and Credit Policies’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nAll 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:\nYaprak Tavman is a Lecturer in Economics at the New College of the Humanities (NCH) London. Before joining NCH\, Yaprak Tavman worked as a Lecturer in Economics at Newcastle University for 2 years. She has obtained her PhD in Economics from the University of York\, where she has also worked as a Teaching Fellow. She has completed her MSc in Economics and Finance with distinction at the University of York and was a Jean Monnet Scholar during her postgraduate studies. Prior to her teaching career\, Yaprak Tavrman had worked as a specialist at HSBC Bank plc\, and following her graduation from Middle East Technical University\, Turkey. \nHer main area of research is macroeconomics\, with specialisations in financial markets and the macroeconomy\, macroprudential regulation and financial stability\, central bank policies\, and political economy of finance. She has recently published her article titled ”A Comparative Analysis of Macroprudential Policies” in Oxford Economic Papers. \nTalk Overview:\nThe severity of the 2008-09 global financial crisis forced policy-makers\, particularly in advanced economies\, to adopt a range of unconventional monetary and credit policies. Although the effectiveness of such policies in stabilizing the economy has been extensively studied\, there is as yet no systematic analysis of the real costs of enacting unconventional measures. In this paper\, utilizing a New Keynesian general equilibrium model with financial frictions and distortionary taxation\, we provide a comparative cost-benefit analysis of two such policies; credit easing and bank capital injections. We note that the use of bank capital injections has a greater stabilizing effect on the economy\, at the expense of higher costs. We also show that evaluation of unconventional policy based on lump-sum taxes overstates the benefits of policy interventions. However\, our results reveal that both credit policies are welfare improving even with distortionary taxes. Bank capital injections generate higher welfare gains\, under both lump-sum and variable tax rates. \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. \n  \n

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘Time for Growth' by Lars Boerner
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 21 November 2018\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Lars Boerner\nTalk Title: ‘Time for Growth’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nAll 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:\nLars Boerner is Senior Lecturer in Economics at King’s Business School\, King’s College London. He is an economist and economic historian who investigates the evolution and development of economies in the long run. He works in particular on the evolution of market and other allocation and clearing mechanisms\, the effect of general purpose technologies for long run growth\, and alternative ways to measure social and economic interactions in societies\, i.e. comparing trade patterns and the spread of diseases. He has published\, among others\, in the Journal of Political Economy\, Explorations in Economic History\, and The Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics. He has earned his PhD in Economics at the Humboldt Universität Berlin and has been affiliated with the Department of Economics of the Freie Universität Berlin\, Stanford University\, the European University Institute\, and the Department of Economic History of the London School of Economics and Political Sciences. \nTalk Overview:\nLars Boerner will present on the impact of the early adoption of one of the most important high-technology machines in history\, the public mechanical clock\, on long-run growth in Europe. Qualitative research as shown in terms of the introduction of clocks had an impact on coordination\, productivity\, and discipline and order in societies.\nHowever\, these insights have not yet been linked to any research agenda in economic growth and development. Based on a quantitative analysis\, Lars Boerner shows that the early adoption and diffusion of the new technology had an impact on economic growth in adopting cities and countries with high diffusion rates. Lars Boerner finds significant growth rates between 1500 and 1700 in the range of 30 percentage points in early adopter cities and areas. In the econometric analysis Lars Boerner avoids endogeneity by considering the relationship between the adoption of clocks with two sets of instruments: distance from the first adopters and the appearance of repeated solar eclipses. The latter instrument is motivated by the predecessor technologies of mechanical clocks\, astronomic instruments that measured the course of heavenly bodies. \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. \n

SUMMARY:The Insecurity Cycle Workshop
DESCRIPTION:CBR/PPSRI Workshop: The Insecurity Cycle\nHow far can ‘free’ markets serve the interests of society?  Can labour and financial markets be brought into balance with each other?  What drives the conventional wisdom that appears to set the parameters to public policy\, and which might help to explain why it has been so difficult to bring about lasting institutional change following the global financial crisis?  These are among the issues addressed by Sue Konzelmann\, Simon Deakin\, Marc Fovargue-Davies and Frank Wilkinson in their book\, Labour\, Finance and Inequality: The Insecurity Cycle in British Public Policy\, published in April 2018.  The Centre for Business Research (‘CBR’) and the Public Policy Strategic Research Initiative (PPSRI) will be holding a workshop on 8 November to discuss themes emerging from the book. \nDate\nThursday 8 November 2018 \nLocation\nThe Ramsden Room\, St. Catharine’s College\, Cambridge\nhttps://www.caths.cam.ac.uk/about-us/visiting-college/maps \nSchedule\nLunch will be served from 1:00 p.m. The Workshop will begin at 2:00 p.m. and conclude no later than 5:00 p.m. \nSpeakers\nSimon Deakin\, CBR\, University of Cambridge\nRuth Dukes\, University of Glasgow\nMarc Fovargue-Davies\, CBR\, University of Cambridge\nJohn Kelly\, Birkbeck\, University of London\nSue Konzelmann\, Birkbeck\, University of London\, and the Progressive Economic Forum\nVicky Pryce\, Centre for Economics and Business Research\, London\nColin Talbot\, CBR\, University of Cambridge\nJohn Weeks\, SOAS\, University of London\, and the Progressive Economic Forum \nRegistration\nIf you wish to attend please send an email to Rachel Wagstaff (r.wagstaff@cbr.cam.ac.uk) \nPublication details\nhttps://www.routledge.com/Labour-Finance-and-Inequality-The-Insecurity-Cycle-in-British-Public/Konzelmann-Deakin-Fovargue-Davies-Wilkinson/p/book/9781138919723

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘De-unionization and the growing Inequality’ by Ahmad Seyf
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 7 November 2018\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Ahmad Seyf\nTalk Title: ‘De-unionization and the growing Inequality’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nAll 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:\nAhmad Seyf is currently a member of the Cambridge Centre of Economic and Public Policy (CCEPP)\, and has retired from the Department of Management and Human Resources at Regent’s University. Prior to Regent’s University\, he taught at the Department of Economics at the University of Staffordshire. His main research interests are international business economics\, globalisation and the economic and social history of the Middle East. Recent publications include\, ‘Population and Agricultural Development in Iran\, 1800-1906’ in Middle Eastern Studies\, 2009\, and ‘Iran and the Great Famine\, 1870-1872’ in Middle Eastern Studies\, 2010.\nHis books include Iran’s Contemporary Political Economy (2012)\, the Economy of Iran under Ahmadinejad (2012)\, Crisis in Despotism in Iran (2014)\, Capitalism and Democracy (2016) and The Great Recession\, Iranian view ((2017\, Anti-Neoliberalism (2018). His recent publications in English are\, The Emerging Economies and the Great Recession (2016)\, and The Need for Relevant Policies to Tackle Inequality (2017). \nTalk Overview:\nThis contribution examines the growing inequality and offers a brief historical examination as to its roots in the last four decades.\nAn important point to make is that this growing divide is not ‘an act of God or nature’ but has been initiated by policy decisions and laws made in the last four decades\, e.g. reducing the power and influence of trade unions\, enhancing the impact of the banks\, keeping wages down\, insisting on a rich-man-friendly tax reforms\, which\, in turn\, were passed by legislators who were elected. It follows that if there is sufficient political will\, things can change again through government or legislative action by those we care to elect to form the government.\nReversing some of the decisions on taxes and making them more progressive could help\, but more fundamental reforms; especially on labour market institutions are needed. We need to tackle rising inequality in market income by strengthening trade unions which is of paramount importance as the recent history of inequality reveals. To enhance the impact\, this measure must be supplemented by relevant fiscal policies to make our taxes more progressive and our social expenditures better targeted. This will be the focus of this contribution. \n\n\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. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘Scientific Macroeconomics and the Quantity Theory of Credit’ by Richard Werner
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 17 October 2018\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Richard Werner\nTalk Title: ‘Scientific Macroeconomics and the Quantity Theory of Credit’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nAll 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:\nRichard Werner is Professor and Chair in International Banking at the University of Southampton (since 2005)\, and is founding director of the Centre for Banking\, Finance and Sustainable Development. He is a Member of Linacre College\, Oxford\, Convenor of the Association for Research on Banking and the Economy (ARBE)\, and member of the ECB Shadow Council. He is also the founding chair of Local First\, a community interest company establishing not-for-profit community banks in the UK\, starting with the Hampshire Community Bank. Richard previously was a Professor of monetary\, macro and development economics at Goethe-University Frankfurt and assistant professor at Sophia University\, Tokyo. In 1992\, as European Commission Fellow at Oxford\, Richard integrated the banking system in a macroeconomic model able to distinguish between the impact of bank credit on asset markets and economic growth (the ‘Quantity Theory of Disaggregated Credit’)\, and warned of the coming banking crisis and deep recession in Japan. In 1995 he advanced a post-banking crisis monetary policy to stimulate the economy\, which he called ‘Quantitative Easing’ (followed in 1998 by ‘Enhanced Debt Management’). In 2003 he warned of the credit-driven asset bubbles and crises in the eurozone. Richard has published in journals and in books. \nTalk Overview:\nAlison in Wonderland was not an equilibrium economist: she only believed six impossible things before breakfast (equilibrium economists need to believe at least eight impossible things). Scientific research methodology is reviewed and it is proposed to also deploy it in economics. Doing this\, key features of how actual economies work can be established. It is seen that all markets must be expected to be rationed (i.e. in disequilibrium). Scientific methodology also helps in identifying the link between the financial system and the real economy\, including sustainable development\, the role of interest rates\, money and the existence and functioning of banks. It is seen how to predict and prevent boom-bust cycles\, banking crises and subsequent recessions\, as well as how to react appropriately once they happen\, without burdening the tax payer. The role of central banks is also discussed\, as well as their reaction to the empirical refutation of their longstanding preferred narrative. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers\nPhilip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (mk24@cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query \n  \n

SUMMARY:Economics for Campaigners event on 'What is finance for?'
DESCRIPTION:“Economics for Campaigners”\nFree public event\nOrganized by Greenwich Political Economy Research Centre (GPERC)\, Institute of Political Economy\, Governance\, Finance and Accountability (PEGFA) & University of Greenwich (UoG) \nFree public lecture for citizens and campaigners on “What is finance for?” on the 11th of October 2018\, room Queen Anne Court QA075\, 19:00\, University of Greenwich. \nJeff Powell\, Senior Lecturer in Economics\, UoG\n· How has the role of the financial sector changed over time\, and why has it changed?\n· How big should the financial sector be?\n· How do we understand or even measure the costs and benefits of finance?\n· What is financialisation? Are we financialised? (and could we be de-financialising?)\n· What to do about all this? Does regulation work? What about ‘alternative finance’? \nThere will be an interactive discussion exploring difficult questions; we will debunk myths\, challenge common misconceptions\, and discuss alternatives to mainstream policies. The aim is to support citizens and campaigners to become confident in contributing to policy debates in their communities and organisations about the most urgent social and economic questions of our time. We assume no prior background knowledge and aim to introduce key concepts building on your experience as citizens or campaigners. \nAll events are scheduled for 19:00-21:00 to make it feasible to attend after work.

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – “Fiscal Space: What have we learnt since the crises?" by Jagjit Chadha
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 10 October 2018\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Jagjit Chadha\nTalk Title:“Fiscal Space: What have we learnt since the crises?”\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nAll 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\nJagjit Chadha is Director of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research. He is on a full time absence of leave as Professor of Economics at the University of Kent and was a part-time Professor of economics at Cambridge. He was previously Professor of Economics at the University of St Andrews and Fellow at Clare College\, Cambridge. He has worked at the Bank of England as an Official working on Monetary Policy and as Chief Quantitative Economist at BNP Paribas. He has acted as Specialist Adviser to the House of Commons Treasury Committee and academic adviser to both the Bank of England and HM Treasury. He sits on the Research Committee of the Economics and Social Research Council and on the REF2020 panel. His main research interests are developing the links between finance and macroeconomics in general equilibrium models and he has published widely in economics journals. He has just completed a British Academy Grant to study fiscal data in the 19th century. \nTalk Overview\nJagjit Chadha will talk on the traditional approach to fiscal policy\, which involves respecting the simple notion of debt sustainability. This over-riding concern has led to considerable weight being placed on cutting public expenditure following a ballooning in public debt after the great financial crisis. We have also formulated a sequence of fiscal rules and around the world observe that Councils have been developed to support the credibility of fiscal policy under uncertainty. But have we done the right thing? Jagjit will consider a number of possible extensions to the standard response of seeking to reduce debt and limiting taxation. First\, we shall examine how episodes of high public debt are successfully reversed? Secondly\, we shall consider what links between monetary and fiscal policy that are overlooked\, in particular by drawing on the experience of QE. Thirdly\, how are the prescriptions for monetary and fiscal policy affected by market incompleteness? And finally what role does the debt management of maturity and debt instruments play setting fiscal policy? Jagjit will illustrate with examples from the past and from the recent crisis in the Euro Area and suggest that our current settlement of tight monetary-fiscal policy may be responsible for the economic trap of low growth. \n\n\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. \n\n\n
