Cornucopia Quantified: New Goods and Improvements in Living Standards
, Barcelona
|
|
|
Hosted By:
CREI and Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona
Organizers:
Robert J Gordon and Hans-Joachim Voth
|
|
|
The conference will explore the impact that new goods have had on the standard of living. Almost all the goods we see around ourselves have only been available for a century or two at most. New goods such as painkillers, penicillin, computers and mobile phones contribute substantially to our well-being. Yet traditional measures of living standards have struggled to capture the benefits of new goods. Typically, we simply divide nominal income by the price of an unchanging basket of goods to determine how 'real incomes' have changed. A number of new approaches have been proposed in recent years, and the value of goods and services from Apple-Cinnamon Cheerios to mobile phones, PCs, and the internet has been reassessed. |

The 18th CEPR European Summer Symposium in International Macroeconomics (ESSIM) will take place on 25-28 May 2010 (arrival evening of Monday 24th, departure morning of Saturday 29th). The meeting will be hosted by Banco de España in Tarragona.
ESSIM is an annual meeting that brings together about 60 economists from across Europe and key researchers from outside the region. It provides a unique opportunity for macroeconomists from different research institutions and countries to discuss research in a relaxed atmosphere and to develop long-term collaborative relationships. Another important aim of ESSIM is to provide young researchers with the opportunity to meet and discuss their work with senior economists. |

Media Skills for Researchers - Complimentary Skills Training for AMID and GIST Early Stage and Experienced Researchers
, CEPR, London

Hosted By:
CEPR
Organizers:
Stephen N Broadberry and Bruce M.S. Campbell

Communicating research findings to potential users outside the academic community - whether in government, the private sector or civil society - should be an essential element in most social scientists’ working lives. One of the most effective ways of reaching these target audiences, influencing policy and practice and changing public opinion is to make use of the media.
Over the past decade Romesh Vaitilingam has, through his work with the Royal Economic Society (RES) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), revolutionised the way UK social scientists communicate with the public. He has also pioneered new approaches to media and communications training for social scientists in the UK. All of Romesh’s co-trainers are or have been working journalists, such as the editor of Science and Public Affairs Wendy Barnaby; Evan Davis, the BBC's economics editor; Martin Huckerby, former foreign editor of The Observer; Gareth Jones, business editor at BBC Wales; and former Financial Times journalist Alan Pike.
The course is open to researchers in the networks AMID and GIST.
This complementary skills training is funded under the grants: Actors, Markets, and Institutions in Developing Countries: A micro-empirical approach, AMID, Contract number: PITN-GA-2008-2114705, and Globalization, Investment, and Services Trade, GIST, Contract number: PITN-GA-2008-211429 Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (ITN) funded under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme |
