1 小时 22 分钟Welcome to the LSE events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
LSE events are taking a break over the summer, so we've dug into our archives
of more than 7,000 lectures to bring you some of our favourites, including this one.
Welcome everybody and thank you for joining us at the LSE for this evening's event.
Which is hosted by the LSE's Department of Economics and Economica.
My name is Wouter Denhaan, and I'm a professor in the Department of Economics,
and until very recently an editor of Economica.
Throughout this history, Economica has been LSE's house journal, and its history now spans more than 100 years.
And in fact, we recently celebrated our 100th anniversary.
And to commemorate that is that we're still in the process of publishing 100 papers by current
and former LSE economic affiliates.
So if anybody is in that category, check out our website.
So turning to this evening's event,
I'm very pleased to welcome Professor Valerie Ramey to deliver the Economica Phillips 2025 lecture.
Phillips used to be a professor here at the LSE.
Professor Ramey is Professor Emerita of Economics at the University of California, San Diego.
And a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute.
She has published numerous scholarly and policy-relevant articles on macroeconomic topics, such as...
The sources of business cycles, the effects of monetary and fiscal policy, and the impact of volatility on growth.
