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 - '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.
