Presentations

Poster for May 2019 Keynote Lecture at Universidad de San Marcos, Peru, the oldest continuously open university in the Western Hemisphere. The topic, The Next Global Crisis, was prescient (although I did not predict the pandemic).

Slides associated with specific papers are found in the Research section.

  • Should Central Banks Have an Equality Mandate? Video of a Public Lecture at the London School of Economics, October 31 2023. Sponsored by the Center for Macroeconomics and the School of Public Policy of LSE.
  • La Próxima Crisis Global (in Spanish). A keynote lecture delivered in May 2019 at Universidad San Marcos, Perú. Needless to say, I did not predict the Covid-19 crisis, but did emphasize that crisis prediction is a virtually hopeless endeavor, and that that fact has important implications for thinking about policy.
  • On Foreign Exchange Intervention July 2017. Another keynote lecture, surveying the state of the art on foreign exchange intervention, and arguing how we can make progress.
  • What Should be the Central Bank’s Objectives? A talk delivered at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis in December 2016, emphasizing what state of the art models say and do not say about central bank objectives
  • Reflexiones Sobre Crecimiento en Peru (in Spanish). Discusses a paper on growth by F. Caselli, and then expands on growth determinants and prospects in Peru. It is somewhat dated (October 2012) but I think it turned out to be quite on the mark.
