London
Understanding low growth Conference hosted by Bank of England and LSE (September 9-10, London)
Call for papers by June 30 2013.
Western economies have now suffered from five years of stagnation. Is this just another recession, albeit unusually severe, or has it been characterised by self-sustaining low-level equilibria or traps? We invite papers that may shed light on this question. We envisage that these may be drawn from the following areas, but anything relevant will be considered.
• Endogenous low level equilibria, including labour market and matching models.
• Credit traps.
• Expectations and news shocks.
• Rebalancing and escapes from balance-sheet recessions.
• Uncertainty.
The keynote speakers will be Paul Beaudry (UBC), Roger Farmer (UCLA) and Jaume Ventura (CREI and Universitat Pompeu Fabra).
Call for Papers: 30 June 2013. Submissions should be made to Claire Scott (claire.scott@bankofengland.co.uk) before 30 June 2013

‘When the Party’s Over: The Politics of Fiscal Squeeze in Perspective’, sponsored by the British Academy and the Economic & Social Research Council at the British Academy, London
Fiscal consolidation and spending cutbacks currently dominate the politics of many of the world’s democracies. Street protests, rule by ‘econocrats’ and draconian policy shifts dictated by – or blamed on – international creditors have become commonplace. A new era of conflict has developed over who gets what from hard-pressed public resources. Old political alignments are being tested and new battles are emerging over whose expectations are to be disappointed and who should be blamed for fiscal squeeze.
Examining nine historical cases of fiscal squeeze, the two-day conference will explore what conclusions we can draw for current debates and will also host two early evening events entitled Ending the Party: A Practitioner’s Perspective, a conversation between Tony Travers of the LSE, and Rachel Lomax, who has long experience of managing fiscal squeezes over a forty-year career, and Reacting to Fiscal Squeeze: Some Artistic Responses with Juliet Gardiner, Social Historian; Dr Frank Gray, Film Historian, University of Brighton; Dr Nicholas Hiley, Head of the British Cartoon Archive, University of Kent; Jonathan Jones, Art Critic, the Guardian.
