-Warwick Economics Lecture with Dr Thomas Curran
OC0.03The Department of Economics are delighted to announce Dr Thomas Curran, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science at LSE and author of The Perfection Trap, as the final speaker in our Warwick Economics Lecture series for the academic year.
'The Perfection Trap'
Date: Friday 26 April
Time: 3 - 4pm followed by a short drinks reception
Location: OC0.03
This event is for students and staff only and registration is required in order to attend.
Christian Soegaard will introduce the speaker and chair the session. You will have the opportunity to ask questions in a Q&A at the end of the lecture, as well as network at our drinks reception in the Oculus foyer after the lecture has taken place.
About the Lecture
This talk will be about the trap of perfectionism. Thomas will discuss the overzealous hypercriticality that germinates in a society that always wants more, and how, while perfectionism ostensibly seeks to improve us, it ultimately leads to hugely negative consequences for our personal wellbeing, performances, and the welfare of our communities at large. If you've ever wondered what's the matter with perfectionism, or why it seems to be the defining characteristic of our times, this talk is for you.
About the Speaker
Dr Thomas Curran is a world-leading expert on perfectionism, author of the best-selling book The Perfection Trap, and acclaimed associate professor of psychology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His TED Talk on perfectionism has received over three million views, he has written for major international publications such as TIME magazine and the Harvard Business Review, and his work has been featured in the BBC, New Scientist, New York Times, CNN, and Wall Street Journal.

-Faculty of Social Sciences Public Lecture with Andrew Oswald
FAB0.03The Department of Economics are delighted to host our first public lecture in the Faculty of Social Science's lecture series with Andrew Oswald, Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science.
Societal Unhappiness and the Uncertain Future of Democracy
Date: Tuesday 30 April
Time: 5.30-6.30pm followed by a short drinks reception
Location: FAB0.03
This event is open to the public.
About the Talk
Mental health and happiness are worsening through time in the United States*. Approximately 40% of citizens in Western Europe today report high levels of worry, and there is a continuing upward trend in ‘national worry’. These trends were visible before COVID, the invasion of Ukraine, and the conflict in Gaza, showing that something foundational and unrealised is happening within Western society. Measured levels of trust are declining quickly.
Andrew Oswald will discuss the nature of these concerning issues, exploring why an unhappy population puts a country's faith in government and the future of democracy at risk. He will leave plenty of time for questions and open discussion.
This lecture will be followed by a drinks reception, where you will have the opportunity to meet the speaker.

Andrew Oswald is Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science at the University of Warwick. He has worked at Warwick for three decades.

6:45pm - 5pmIndia Sustainable Growth Conference
Runs from Thursday, May 02 to Saturday, May 04.
CAGE are delighted to be supporting this public conference with the International Growth Centre from 2nd to 4th May 2024.
Lifting millions out of poverty in India requires rapid economic growth and energy use. At the same time, environmental pollution and climate change create significant barriers to success.
Understanding how to overcome both these challenges at the same time is one of the most important policy problems facing India. It is also a problem that confronts many other developing countries whose policymakers may look to India’s choices for guidance. Any solutions will require increasing support for innovative, applied research within India and building collaborative international networks of researchers interested in this problem.
The India Sustainable Growth Conference at LSE provides a forum for sharing ideas in this space, as well as inviting discussion and debate. Jointly organised by the International Growth Centre (IGC), LSE STICERD’s Economics of Environment and Energy Programme, University of Warwick and Indian Statistical Institute, the conference aims to bring together PhD students from across the world working on environmental economics, and leading faculty also working at the intersection of environment and economics in India, alongside policymakers in India. It follows on from LSE’s Environment CampLink opens in a new window designed to provide PhD students from all fields of economics the opportunity to present new research on environmental issues.
Creating a sustainable growth strategy for India
Date: Friday 3 May, 18:00 - 19:30
Venue: Online and the Old Theatre, LSE
Speakers
- Shamika Ravi - Secretary to the Government of India and Member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, Government of India
- Balaji Srinivasan - Chair of the EPIC Asia Advisory Group, Member of Management Board, Ahmedabad University
- Janhavi Nilekani - Founder and Chairperson, Aastrika Foundation
- Anant Sudarshan - Associate Professor, Department of Economics, University of Warwick
- Robin Burgess - Director, IGC and Professor of Economics, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
- Stéphane Hallegatte - Senior Climate Change Adviser, Climate Change, World Bank
India is the most populated country in the world with one of the most dynamic economies. It also faces environmental damage due to climate change. Lifting millions out of poverty in India requires rapid economic growth but environmental challenges pose a significant barrier to this. Innovative research and policy can help India navigate towards sustainable growth and provide a global model for these pathways for the world. Bringing together policymakers, funders and researchers, we will discuss and debate how to build a movement around the promotion of sustainable growth in India, and mark the beginning of a collaboration between LSE and the Indian Statistical Institute in this space.

9:15am - 6pmERINN 2024
Palazzo Giustinian Lolin, VeniceRuns from Monday, June 03 to Tuesday, June 04.
The ERINN (Economic Research on Identity Norms and Narratives) Network brings together committed researchers who share a common vision concerning the centrality of social forces – particularly identity, norms, and narratives – in shaping economic outcomes. The basic premise is that economic activity takes place in social contexts, which structure and co-determine people’s preferences, beliefs, and constraints. The role of this network of researchers is to bring these processes to the forefront of economic analysis.
ERINN will be hosting this year's annual conference in the University of Warwick's home in Venice.

9am - 6pmCAGE Summer School 2024: Pre-doctoral Research Training
Runs from Monday, July 01 to Wednesday, July 03.
A three-day Summer School which will provide a comprehensive introduction to the tools and systems needed for applied social science research.
Organiser: Professor Mirko Draca, University of Warwick (CAGE Director)
Lecturers/Presenters: Arthur Turrell (Bank of England), Eric Melander (Birmingham), Peter John Lambert (LSE), Marie Segger (The Economist magazine).
PROGRAMME TBC
The summer school will cover the following topics: -
- Coding for Economists: Organising a professional coding workflow using Github and Python.
- Data Management and Analysis: Case studies on how to put together complex repeated cross-section and panel datasets, along with how to present and analyse them.
- Digitisation of Historical Data: Converting hard copy tabular and text data into electronic form. How to employ OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tools and what you can do when those methods won’t work. How to use GIS (Geographic Information System) techniques to extract spatial data from maps. Using non-standard approaches to measure historical phenomena.
- Working on the Cloud: Your desktop machine is too slow so you have to move to cloud computing. We’ll provide a guide to setting up and running big data analysis on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- Using LLMs in Economics Research: Large-language Models are all the rage. We’ll show how they can be used to build new types of data, for example, the codification of large text databases into a structured form.
- Research Design: Faculty will present examples of their research and go under the surface to show the data construction, analysis and workflows that were involved in putting together a paper.
- Data Visualisation: How to build creative and well-designed data visualisations.
The timetable of the summer school will be organised around lectures in the first half of the day with research presentations / case studies in the second half. There’ll also be chances for hands-on and participatory work by students in the afternoon sessions.
