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: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 – ‘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
