This workshop will to bring together leading academics and analysts as well as policymakers to discuss the economic performance of the UK economy during the decade up to and including the economic and financial crisis, and it will draw conclusions about short-term recovery prospects and the longer-term UK economic outlook.
The UK economy enjoyed a period of strong and stable economic growth coupled with low inflation in the ten year period leading up to the financial and economic crisis. As the UK and other European economies are expected to recover gradually from the marked falls in economic activity during the crisis, the question arises of what the prospects for economic recovery and fiscal consolidation in the UK are, and what determines these. The aim of the workshop is to therefore to evaluate the UK economy's structural features and growth prospects, as well as to elucidate current fiscal and financial sector issues.
The workshop comprises three sessions, each one dedicated to a specific economic theme, and the event will be rounded off by a 90 minute panel discussion with numerous high-level panelists. During the three thematic sessions, a number of academic papers will be presented by the corresponding authors alongside presentations from other speakers, and each session will be concluded by a general discussion lead by an appointed discussant.
