Dear IFM member:
We are writing to remind you that you are invited to the annual meeting on
March 10 of PEIF (Politics and Economics of International Finance) at
Harvard. The program is available here
<
https://conferences.wcfia.harvard.edu/peif/march-10-2018>. For those who
have not already done so, but want to come, please RSVP to Sarah
<sarahbanse_at_wcfia.harvard.edu> by this coming Wednesday, February 7.
You should have on Wednesday received from Lita Kimble of the NBER
Conference Department an invitation to the March 9 meeting of the IFM
program. PEIF has no association with the NBER. But if you plan on
attending both, and you need hotel reservations for the night of Friday,
March 9, simply indicate that date when you RSVP to the NBER. (PEIF pays
for the extra night.)
If you need to be reminded of the invitation that I sent you on December 9:
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. …
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. 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 (who -- besides being eminent academics –
are former central bankers for the UK, the US, and Sweden, respectively).
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!
