On January 18th 2014 the UCL Economics and Finance Society is hosting a conference with two aims in mind:
1. Disseminate research at the forefront of past, present and future Regulation and Policymaking
2. Discuss and debate the implications of Economic Policies and Regulations and how it affects the financial world
3. Exploring how Policymakers impact directly on the Economic Crisis
4. Looking at
International Macroeconomics, as well as International Finance and Monetary Economics
We hope that by achieving these aims attendants of the conference will have a greater economic understanding as to the nuances of markets such as those in BRIC nations and understand what career prospects will look like post- Economic Crisis. We seek to achieve our aims by inviting world-class Academics, Professionals and Students to UCL and providing a platform for discussion. What will the conference be like? Our conference, Taming the City: The Future of Finance’, will be a platform where world-class professionals and academics come together with driven, intelligent university students. With our aims in mind we will be discussing:
Pioneering research about Macroeconomics and International Monetary Economics.
- What are the past, present and future economic regulation and policies? - What political factors influence policymaking?
- What are the implications for financial markets with post- economic crisis growth? How future careers will be shaped by regulations
- Amongst all the financial turmoil and movement, why bother with banking?
- Where are the new investment opportunities?
- What will banks look like in 10 years? Final Note From The Committee:
This conference is a very exciting opportunity for us. At UCL we offer some of the best, most enthusiastic minds. We will be privileged enough as a University to host up to 300 like-minded students and academics, over the course of an intellectually stimulating day. This is a chance for students from across the world to learn more about the current economic climate and gain insights into where they are going in the future. We hope you will be able to join us in this process of learning and development
Thank you,
The UCL Economics and Finance Committee, Conference division
