SUMMARY:Symposium: New work on enclosure in Britain\, c. 1700-1850
DESCRIPTION:Symposium: New work on enclosure in Britain\, c. 1700-1850 \nWhen: Friday\, 26 May 2023\, 10:30am-4pm (in-person only)\nWhere: Room G10\, Henley Business School\, Whiteknights Campus\, University of Reading\nAttendance is free\nRegistration is required\nEarly registration is encouraged\, as spaces are limited (please fill in the form below)\nDeadline to register: Sunday\, 21 May 2023 \nSummary \nEnclosure is a fundamental process. It is both a simplification of property ownership and a reorganisation of the landscape. Most land in Britain – the uplands apart – has gone through some form of enclosure at some time but the date at which it took place\, and the institutional forms that enclosure took\, vary enormously from place to place. \nEnclosure as a process has largely come to an end. Our understanding of the institutional and legal forms it took\, the motives which drove enclosure and its consequences – actual and perceived – are far from perfect. At this meeting we present five papers which give a sense of the state of enclosure studies in Britain at this time and the challenges which remain for historians. \nProgramme \n10.30 ​Coffee and registration \n10.45​ Welcome (Professor Richard Hoyle) \n11.00​ Paper One: The motives for parliamentary enclosure (Dr. David Brown) \n11.45​ Paper Two: The surveys of enclosure of 1800-01 (Professor Richard Hoyle) \n12.30​ Lunch \n13.30 ​Paper Three: ‘The result never quite equalled the promise’: risk\, reward\, and reclamation on Exmoor\, 1840-1897’ (Professor Henry French) \n14.15​ Paper Four: Agrarian reform in a lowland Scottish barony: evolutionary or structural change? (Iain Kirkman) \n15.00​ Paper Five: Encroachment: a form of illicit enclosure? (Professor Carl Griffin) \n15.45 Concluding comments and discussion (Professor Mark Casson)

SUMMARY:Macroeconomics and Reality: Where Are We Now?
DESCRIPTION:Programme\nClick here for the full conference programme. \nAim of the Conference\nMacroeconomists are responding to extraordinary challenges. We are learning in real time; adapting and improving existing models\, whilst expanding and incorporating new methods to understand better our complex and evolving reality. Forty years after the publication of Christopher Sims’s seminal paper on Macroeconomics and Reality\, we look to share\, debate and evaluate some of the new models and methods in macroeconomics which address our biggest policy challenges – and perhaps hold the greatest promise for the future. The intended audience is colleagues and graduate students in economics\, policymakers\, governments\, think-tanks\, and research economists across the world. \nBackground\nThe world economy had a testing last decade and faces further challenges in the decade ahead. In the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis we saw productivity growth evaporate\, rising concerns about inequalities\, and an erosion of public support for economic integration. The traditional policy answer of borrowing and spending has led to the highest world debt-to-GDP ratios in history; and interest rates\, in advanced economies at least\, that are at or close to their effective lower bound. Asset prices continue to rise\, while major economies seem as close to deflation as inflation. Environmental degradation continues as we may be heading towards an ecological catastrophe. And now we start the new decade with the COVID-19 virus\, a global health pandemic which also exacerbates many of these challenges. \nAnyone looking from a distance might wonder whether the global economy is really approaching a steady state\, under any reasonably realistic definition. And yet there are reasons for at least some professional optimism. The fiscal and monetary response to COVID-19 has been very different (and more successful) compared to the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis. Computing power allows us vastly to expand our methods of analysis to include heterogeneity\, direct interaction between agents\, and handling Big Data. The pandemic has finally forced us to look beyond our discipline and consider how we might achieve a more integrated framework for our greatest real-world problems. This opens up the possibility of making real progress on tackling our greatest policy challenges. \nRegistration\nTo register for this event\, please contact Richard Arnold at r.arnold@niesr.ac.uk \nOrganizers\nEconomic Analysis Research Group\, University of Reading\, and ESRC’s Rebuilding Macroeconomics network. \nConference Website\nFurther information and materials will become available at the conference website: https://sites.google.com/view/macro-and-reality-earg-rm-conf/home
