Andrew Haldane, Chief Economist from the Bank of England and Executive Director, Monetary Analysis and Statistics, will speak on the topic of ‘The Dappled World’.

Blurb: The financial crisis has led policy makers around the world to question and rethink the established set of frameworks and paradigms for understanding the modern economy and financial system. And a number of Central Banks have developed, or are in the process of developing, new tools and policy levers to better understand and moderate the dynamics of economic and financial systems.

This lecture will explore how drawing on a wider array of scientific and academic disciplines can help us better understand the economic and financial system we live in today and frame policy choices to improve the functioning of this system – from history to psychology, meteorology to engineering, statistics to complexity theory.

This public lecture is presented by the School of Economics Centre for Finance, Credit and Macroeconomics. Followed by a drinks reception.

Free, all welcome.
