The Macroeconomics, Growth and History Centre<\/a> (MaGHiC) are excited to welcome more than a hundred delegates on campus for the 53rd Annual MMF Conference<\/a> on campus (5-7 September). This is the main UK conference in Macroeconomics and has a long-standing tradition among both academics and policy members, platforming four keynote speakers, and three special sessions.<\/p>\n

‘This year’s conference is all about inflation, with top current and former policymakers and academics speaking about the current global inflation challenges.’ Dr Alfred Duncan<\/a>, one of the programme committee explained ‘<\/span>I’m most looking forward to\u202f<\/span>MPC at 25: Lessons Learned from 25 Years of the Monetary Policy Committee<\/span><\/i>, where former Bank of England Governor Mervyn King and Former Deputy Governor Paul Tucker discuss what we’ve learned from 25 years of Bank of England independence.’<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Three of our four keynotes are on inflation, including one from current Bank of England MPC member Catherine Mann<\/a>. We also have a special session on Quantitative Tightening, which will be one of the major challenges facing the Bank of England as they tackle the UK’s inflation problem.’<\/span><\/p>\n

‘I\u2019m particularly interested in sessions on tax policies.’ Dr Wei Jiang<\/a> told us ‘Fiscal policy is a global focus by both academics and policy makers after the breakout of COVID-19 pandemic. The conference will be a lively discussion on various issues on factor markets and effects of fiscal policy.\u2019<\/p>\n

Director of the MaGHiC research centre, Professor Miguel Leon Ledesma<\/a> is excited for <\/span>face-to-face interaction after two years in which the conference was held virtually due to Covid-19 restrictions. ‘I’m looking forward to top quality debates on current issues such as inflation, labour market participation, productivity, and the effect of Brexit. <\/span>This is possibly the best forum in the UK to listen to expert views from all over the globe.’<\/p>\n
