Philip R. Lane, Whately Professor of Political Economy and Head of the Economics Department, delivered the first talk in the 2012/2013 public lecture series by academics in Trinity's School of Social Sciences and Philosophy.
In this talk Professor Lane addressed the report on banks and cross-border capital flows which was launched by the Committee on International Economic and Policy Reform (CIEPR) in Washington DC on September 26. The CIEPR is a non-partisan and non-ideological group of independent experts, comprised of academic, such as Professor Lane, and former government and central bank officials. The objective of the group is to analyze global monetary and financial problems, offer systematic analysis and advance reform ideas that would ordinarily not emerge from official processes.
The lecture was chaired by Dr Donal Donovan who has contributed extensively to media discussions on the current Irish and euro debt crises and has been a member of the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council since mid-2011.
