Dear IFM Member:
We are pleased to invite you to the Fourth annual one-day conference on
the Politics and Economics of International Finance (PEIF), to be held at
Harvard on Saturday, March 10, 2018. Although this meeting is not
affiliated with the NBER, we have timed it to take advantage of the IFM
program meeting Friday, March 9, the day before. (You should receive from
the NBER Conference Department the call-for-papers for the IFM meeting
around Dec. 11 and the formal invitation to attend by Jan. 22.) PEIF can
pay for the additional hotel night, Friday, even though it is anticipated
that you will make the hotel reservations via the NBER Conference Department.
PEIF will provide breakfast and lunch during the meeting.
The PEIF series is organized under the auspices of Harvard’s Weatherhead
Center for International Affairs and co-sponsored by the Mossavar-Rahmani
Center for Business and Government at Harvard Kennedy School. Our goal is
to bring together scholars interested in economic and political-economy
issues in international financial relations – not just economists but also
political scientists and others.
Our first three meetings
<
https://conferences.wcfia.harvard.edu/peif/conferences> were highly
successful, by all reports. The format will be the same again this year:
Rather than scheduling a succession of presentations each consisting of a
single working paper, we are asking three scholars each to present a body
of their ongoing research. This may include circulating a paper or papers
in advance, but we are asking the scholar to present a broader overview of
the work. There will also be a policy panel at the end of the day, on a
topic related to monetary policy, featuring Kristin Forbes, Jeremy Stein,
and Lars Svensson. The complete program is attached.
Please let us know if you can attend by Wednesday, February 7, by
emailing Sarah
Banse at sarahbanse_at_wcfia.harvard.edu. We are happy to respond to
questions.
We look forward to seeing you in March!
