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.
