Money in open economies

Critical traditions within economics have a distinctive focus on monetary theory and its relation with effective demand and income distribution. Although these approaches have traditionally focused on domestic economic issues, there have been efforts to extend its insights to the study of open economies and international finance. This event, organized by the YSI Financial Stability Working Group and the Economics department from the Leeds University Business School, will combine presentations of young and senior scholars on the role of money in open economies from a critical economic perspective.

The event will consist on two day discussion and presentation surrounding those issue. The first will be online, while the second is designed as an hybrid event. To receive the link and/or assist personally to the second day, please register to the event here.
