The Global Economic Crisis - One Year In
Various Speakers 
Podcast (MP3)

  • Professor John Van Reenen
    A Manifesto for Growth: The LSE Growth Commission Report     (31 January 2013)
    Interview with John Van Reenen, You Tube

    The UK has failed to invest in key areas needed for long-term growth. How can we change this? Professor John Van Reenen, Director of CEP and co-chair of the LSE Growth Commission, presents a 'manifesto for growth' for the UK economy over the next 50 years, backed up by the Growth Commission's report.

    The Report and LSE Growth Commission can be found here.

    The second series of 2009 Lionel Robbins lectures were recorded on 8th, 9th and 10th June 2007 in the Old Theatre, Old Building at LSE

    The global economic crisis has shaken a lot of what we thought we knew about economics. These lectures will cover the causes of the crisis; the deeply vexed question of how and when the world economy can recover; and the implications of the whole mess for economics and economists.

  • Mirko Draca
    Panic on the Streets of London     (26 May 2009.)
    What effect does raising the number of police have on crime? It might seem obvious that more police means fewer crimes - but things aren't that simple. For a start, there's the so called "endogeneity problem".

    Research economist Mirko Draca explains how the July 2005 terrorist attacks became a "natural experiment".



  • Professor Philippe Aghion
    Designing Policies for Growth     (19-21 Feb 2009)
    The 2009 Lionel Robbins lectures were recorded on 19, 20 and 21 Feb 2007 in the Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building at LSE

    Over three lectures, Philippe Aghion will lay down the framework to think about growth policy design, discuss how policies inducing directed technical change can be designed to maximise sustainable growth, and finally investigate the relationship between market reforms and trust. Philippe Aghion is Robert C Waggoner Professor of Economics, Harvard University.

    The 2007 Lionel Robbins lectures were recorded on 19, 20 and 21 Nov 2007 in the Old Theatre at LSE
