Join renowned economist a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics Professor Olivier Blanchard as he discusses the direction fiscal policy should take in our upcoming School of Economics Thought Leadership Series, ‘Fiscal Policy under Low Interest Rates’.

The COVID-19 pandemic has and continues to cause enormous loss of life around the world. By adopting a suppression strategy, along with a combination of public health and economic measures, Australia has avoided large scale deaths to the scale experienced in other countries and regions.

Economists continue to play an essential role in COVID-19 recovery and will help shape policy for the post-pandemic society. In a world with higher public spending and debt, coupled with more frequent shocks due to climate change, fiscal and monetary policies will become more important than ever.

The workshop will demonstrate a solution using MATLAB and attendees follow along with engineer Bradley Horton from MATLAB (via Zoom) to explore the topics during the workshop. Attendees from the School of Economics can do exercises together in the computer lab of Building 39-203.

Join us virtually for the inaugural UQ Economics Thought Leadership event to hear experts in economic policy deliver their analysis and insights on how to improve wellbeing and overcome Indigenous disadvantage through economic participation.

UQ staff and higher degree by research students are invited to register for an exciting career development and networking session, hosted by the UQ Women in Business, Economics and Law (BEL) Network.
