360 Lecture - Growth, Finance and Institutions
The Department of Economics in conjuction with the Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy (CAGE) presents Andy Haldane.
Andy Haldane's talk will focus on whether the story of growth is about ideas or institutions?

This event is being organised as part of our 360 Guest Lecture Series.

CAGE-SMF Briefing: Productivity takes Leave?
Examining the Causes and Impact of Maternity Leave Policies on Academic Careers
Motherhood and professional advancements often conflict. Studies of female academics highlight gender disparities in senior ranks. One explanation for this inequality is unequal caregiving responsibilities borne by women, particularly early in their children’s lives.
At this event, Professor Vera Troeger of the Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy at the University of Warwick will ask whether different maternity leave provisions across UK higher education institutions exacerbate differences in the productivity, career paths and job satisfaction of female academics.
Vera will describe how outcomes for female academics vary, potentially as a result both of changes in UK law, and the wide variation in maternity leave benefits across the sector. She will also discuss why universities across the UK have implemented occupational maternity policies that vary largely with respect to their generosity.

Teaching mathematics with GeoGebra
There are lots of important concepts in mathematics and economics that students often struggle to understand and internalise, especially when (as is typically and necessarily the case) those concepts are presented in terms of formal, abstract definitions. Often, the right picture, together with suitable illustrative examples, can help a lot. Nick will talk about his experiences using an interactive geometry and algebra application called GeoGebra to help first year undergraduate students understand concepts in real analysis and linear algebra.

CAGE & IAS Summer School 2018
CULTURE, IDENTITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
University of Warwick, 26-28 June 2018
Organisers: Sharun Mukand, Sascha Becker and Robert AkerlofThe ESRC Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy (CAGE) at the University of Warwick, and the Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) are joining together to provide a Summer School, to be held at the University of Warwick, 26-28 June 2018 (delegates to arrive on the 25th June). The theme of the Summer School will be on culture, identity and economic development. Over the past decade there has emerged a literature that examines the role of culture, identity and social and behavioural norms for economic outcomes. In this workshop, we aim to provide students with an overview of some of this recent work on the economics of culture and identity as well as examine its implications for economic development, conflict, education, immigration, the labour force and political economy.
The Summer School is intended mainly for PhD students and early postdoctoral researchers. The morning sessions will consist of lectures by invited academics and Warwick faculty whose work is relevant to this area. There will be a keynote on each day of the summer school delivered by (i) Debraj Ray (ii) Paul Seabright and (iii) Elias Pappaiannou . The afternoon sessions will consist of presentations by a subset of invited students and postdocs, with feedback from the lecturers and other participants. Presentations can be on any work that relates to issues of culture, identity and economic development.
Accommodation and meals will be provided free of charge and economy only travel expenses up to £400 overseas, £200 Europe and £50 UK will also be covered.
Applications to attend the Summer School should be sent to Jane Snape at: Jane.Snape@warwick.ac.uk by 23 April 2018.
Please include the following:
(1) A short CV (maximum one-page) indicating your contact details and university level education
(2) Contact details for your supervisor, who will be asked to provide a supporting statement
(3) A short abstract (maximum 500 words) of the research that you would like to presentNotification of acceptance will be sent out by 18 May 2018.

CAGE & IAS Summer School 2018
CULTURE, IDENTITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
University of Warwick, 26-28 June 2018
Organisers: Sharun Mukand, Sascha Becker and Robert AkerlofThe ESRC Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy (CAGE) at the University of Warwick, and the Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) are joining together to provide a Summer School, to be held at the University of Warwick, 26-28 June 2018 (delegates to arrive on the 25th June). The theme of the Summer School will be on culture, identity and economic development. Over the past decade there has emerged a literature that examines the role of culture, identity and social and behavioural norms for economic outcomes. In this workshop, we aim to provide students with an overview of some of this recent work on the economics of culture and identity as well as examine its implications for economic development, conflict, education, immigration, the labour force and political economy.
The Summer School is intended mainly for PhD students and early postdoctoral researchers. The morning sessions will consist of lectures by invited academics and Warwick faculty whose work is relevant to this area. There will be a keynote on each day of the summer school delivered by (i) Debraj Ray (ii) Paul Seabright and (iii) Elias Pappaiannou . The afternoon sessions will consist of presentations by a subset of invited students and postdocs, with feedback from the lecturers and other participants. Presentations can be on any work that relates to issues of culture, identity and economic development.
Accommodation and meals will be provided free of charge and economy only travel expenses up to £400 overseas, £200 Europe and £50 UK will also be covered.
Applications to attend the Summer School should be sent to Jane Snape at: Jane.Snape@warwick.ac.uk by 23 April 2018.

Teaching mathematics with GeoGebra
There are lots of important concepts in mathematics and economics that students often struggle to understand and internalise, especially when (as is typically and necessarily the case) those concepts are presented in terms of formal, abstract definitions. Often, the right picture, together with suitable illustrative examples, can help a lot. Nick will talk about his experiences using an interactive geometry and algebra application called GeoGebra to help first year undergraduate students understand concepts in real analysis and linear algebra.
