POLITICAL ECONOMY SEMINAR SERIES: EASTER TERM PROGRAMME
*** PROF WYNNE GODLEY: "Money and finance in a definitely non-conventional
model" ***
Date: Wednesday 28th April
Time: 8 PM (pre-seminar drinks from 7:30 PM)
Venue: Music Room, Downing College
Speaker background:
Prof Godley is perhaps best known for his role as one of the "six wise men"
that provided independent advice to successive Chancellors of the Exchequer
between 1992 and 1995. Prior to this, Prof Godley was Deputy Director of
the Economics Section at HM Treasury (1956-1970). In terms of academic
appointments, Prof Godley was Director of the Department of Applied
Economics at Cambridge University (1970-1994) and subsequently a Professor
of Applied Economics. Additionally, Prof Godley was a Visiting Professor at
University of Aalborg, Denmark (1987-1988) and a Distinguished Scholar at
the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, New York (1994-2001). He is
currently a Visiting Research Associate at the Judge Institute of
Management Studies (CERF), Cambridge University. Although Prof Godley's
contributions to applied economics and policy down the years have been
substantial, ***at the seminar he shall be presenting what he considers to
be his most important and radical work to date***.
*** PROF TONY BRYANT: "Conditions for the Existence of Market Equilibrium:
Endowments, Irreducibility, Survival and Transfers" (provisional title) ***
Date: Wednesday 12th May
Time: 8 PM (pre-seminar drinks from 7:30 PM)
Venue: TBA
Speaker background:
Prof Tony Bryant is Head of the Economics Department and a Senior Lecturer
at Macquarie University, Sydney. Although primarily an economic theorist,
he has wide and varied research interests, and the seminar he shall present
shall deal with, amongst other things, non-Walrasian equilibrium models
that should be of interest to Keynesian-inclined economists.
