Symposium on Business Cycle Behaviour in Historical Perspective
The Centre for Growth and Business Cycle Research of the University of Manchester hosts an international symposium on the theme of business cycle behaviour in historical perspective on June 29th-30th 2009. The aim of the symposium is to bring together a small number of leading scholars to discuss the lessons that history holds on the effects of international monetary regimes and economic and financial integration on business cycle behaviour. Barry Eichengreen, Professor of Economics and Political Science at the University of California Berkeley, will give the keynote speech.
A subset of symposium papers, selected through a rigorous but high-speed refereeing process, will be published in a special conference volume of the Manchester School.
For enquiries about the symposium, feel free to contact the symposium organizers at Michael.Artis@manchester.ac.uk or George.Chouliarakis@manchester.ac.uk
The organizers gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the School of Social Sciences of the University of Manchester.
