| STEG Annual Conference 2021, Online Seminar |
|
|
|
| The research programme on Structural Transformation and Economic Growth (STEG), led by the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) is inviting you to attend its first annual conference on 13-15 January 2021, starting at 2pm GMT each day. This conference will fall near the close of STEG’s first (inception) year. The conference papers will help define the current research frontiers in the area of structural transformation and economic growth. STEG seeks to advance these frontiers over the next four years, through a programme of competitive research funding and academic community building. We expect the first funding calls to be issued in Spring 2021.
STEG’s objective is to build a body of research and evidence that will inform policy in low-income countries; we consequently seek papers that have clear relevance to this goal. The conference will be hosted online via Zoom, to register your attendance please click here and the latest programme is available on this link https://steg.cepr.org/events/annualconference2021.
In addition to full-length presentations, the conference will include one or more (virtual) sessions of short presentations, as a way to highlight the diversity of research in the field and to offer more opportunities for early-career researchers and scholars representing a wide range of institutions and geographies. If you have any difficulties registering for this conference, please contact Mandy Chan, Senior Events Officer at [email protected].

| It's All in the Mix: How Monetary and Fiscal Policies Can Work or Fail Together - Geneva Report 23, Webinar |
|
|
|
| Tuesday 26 January, 2021 |
08:30-09:45 ET (Washington) The notion of the monetary-fiscal policy mix has made a spectacular comeback as countries have been forced to takle the devastating economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. The 23rd Geneva Report on the World Economy stresses that the desirable coordination between central banks and treasuries can only work if the credibility of their commitment to desirable long-term goals ? healthy growth under price stability and public debt sustainability ? is preserved and backed by a resilient institutional framework, and urges policymakers to develop a strategy aimed at regaining policy space on both sides of the mix. Join Adam Posen, Elga Bartsch, Agnès Bénassy-Quéré, Giancarlo Corsetti, Xavier Debrun and discussants Benoît Coeuré and Jason Furman in this online launch, hosted by PIIE and CEPR.

| Global Economic Prospects: A Subdued Recovery, Webinar |
|
|
|
| Thursday 28th January, 2021 |
07:00-08:30 ET (Washington) 12:00-13:30 GMT (London) 13:00-14:30 CET (Geneva) Although global economic output is recovering from the collapse triggered by COVID-19, it will remain below pre-pandemic trends for a prolonged period. Until the pandemic is brought under control around the world, the recovery will be subdued and may get derailed by several risks. In particular, the pandemic has exacerbated the risks associated with a decade-long wave of global debt accumulation. It is also likely to steepen the long-expected slowdown in potential growth over the next decade unless a major policy push for growth is made in many countries. Join Ayhan Kose, Franziska Ohnsorge, Jeremy Lawson, Nathan Sussman and Ugo Panizza in this upcoming discussion on the World Bank's latest GEP report.

The virtual classes will be interactive, just as virtual graduate lectures in most departments are now. For whom? The course is open free-of-charge to all interested Ph.D. students and economics faculty.

First, we will discuss definitions and present descriptive evidence on the recent increase in support for populists. Second, we will cover the evidence on economic and noneconomic factors driving the recent rise - including the role of cross-border trade, automation, 2008-2009 global financial crisis and subsequent austerity, social media, immigration, identity politics, trust, and cultural backlash. Third, we will discuss the implications of populism's recent rise. Finally, we will outline avenues for further research.

| The Policy Implications of Recent Globalization Research - 1, Online Seminar |
|
|
|
| We are cordially inviting you to the seminar series on “The Policy Implications of Recent Globalization Research”, organised by the German Development Institute, the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics (CEP-LSE), and the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR). |
Format The online seminar series aims to encourage the exchange and discussion of empirical research on trade and investment and its effects on developing and emerging countries. The seminar differs from a traditional academic seminar, which focuses on methodology and academic exchange, and instead aims to promote the translation of academic findings into policy. As such, the seminar series provides the opportunity for mutual learning: researchers learning about urgent policy questions and policy makers learning about what is methodologically feasible. Within the seminar series, we aim for academic researchers that can share innovative empirical work and policy insights. Instead of focusing on particular papers, the seminar series invites presenters to present on a particular topic and present their accumulated and broader research findings and agenda. The target audience of the seminar includes both academics and policymakers dealing with trade and investment, and particularly policy makers from emerging and developing countries and in multilateral organisations. The seminar series is held on Zoom and consists of a 40 minutes presentation and 20 minutes Q&A, although we encourage interactive discussions throughout the seminar. Organisers Kasper Vrolijk (German Development Institute) Dany Bahar (Brookings, CESifo and IZA) Catherine Thomas (CEP-LSE, CEPR and CESifo) Beata Javorcik (EBRD, Oxford and CEPR) Schedule The seminar series will occur on a monthly basis, at different dates and at 4pm GMT in March / 4pm BST in April, May and June. Dani Rodrik (Harvard University and CEPR) will be presenting "The Future of Economic Development Strategies" on Thursday 18 March 2021 at 4pm GMT. To register your attendance please click here.

|
|
|
| The Structural Transformation and Economic Growth research programme is offering a free virtual course entitled "Key Concepts in Macro Development" for the spring of 2021, which will be taught by a series of lecturers. What? The course is designed around a series of modules of two 90-minute lectures. These modules introduce workhorse models, methods, and ideas in an organised fashion, as well as going over some empirics and recent contributions. The 6 modules constitute 12 lectures. In addition, we have supplemental lectures that are more stand alone and focus on other important topics in macroeconomic development. Together the modules and supplemental lectures constitute 20 lectures, a full quarter course. Why? Macro development is a small field. Textbooks are unavailable, and while many graduate programs teach some of these concepts in their courses, very few have a specific course organised around and dedicated to macro development.

| STEG Virtual Course - Lecture 12: Applications to development - David Atkin (MIT and CEPR), Online Seminar |
|
|
|
| The Structural Transformation and Economic Growth research programme is offering a free virtual course entitled "Key Concepts in Macro Development" for the spring of 2021, which will be taught by a series of lecturers. What? The course is designed around a series of modules of two 90-minute lectures. These modules introduce workhorse models, methods, and ideas in an organised fashion, as well as going over some empirics and recent contributions. The 6 modules constitute 12 lectures. In addition, we have supplemental lectures that are more stand alone and focus on other important topics in macroeconomic development. Together the modules and supplemental lectures constitute 20 lectures, a full quarter course. Why? Macro development is a small field. Textbooks are unavailable, and while many graduate programs teach some of these concepts in their courses, very few have a specific course organised around and dedicated to macro development. This virtual course will fill the gap for Ph.D. students or even junior faculty throughout the profession who are interested in these topics but do not have access otherwise. The virtual classes will be interactive, just as virtual graduate lectures in most departments are now. For whom? The course is open free-of-charge to all interested Ph.D. students and economics faculty. Course materials (syllabus, lecture presentations, and recorded lectures) will be available after the fact on the STEG website.? How to attend? Those who apply and register for the course by 31 January are expected to attend regularly and can actively participate in the Zoom class. Registered graduate students should have a faculty sponsor them.? When? 5 February - 7 May, either one (Friday) or two (Thursday and Friday) lectures a week, 4pm London time (GMT through March dates, and then GMT+1 for April and May dates). The course will be hosted online via Zoom, to register your attendance please click here.
