embers of the panel included Luca Einaudi, author of Money and Politics: European Monetary Unification and the International Gold Standard and participant in G8-G20 discussions in 2008-2009, William Janeway, Senior Advisor, Warburg Pincus, Emma Rothschild, Director of the Joint Centre for History and Economics, and Pierpaolo Barbieri, Harvard-Cambridge scholar and research student at the Centre.
The panel discussed policy responses to the financial crisis, with a special focus on recent developments, including banking sector reform following the Obama-Volcker proposals and the Southern Europe public debt crisis. While economic growth is picking up in Asia and the US, Europe is still facing very slow growth, without a clear sense of the direction it will take. What is the state of international cooperation to restore growth and to reform financial regulation and international institutions?
This event was organised by the Centre for History and Economics, King's College and co-sponsored by the Cambridge Endowment for Research in Finance (CERF).
