CEEL program in Adaptive Economic Dynamics
11th Trento Summer School
Intensive course in
Co-Directors:
Daniel Heymann, University of San Andrés and University of Buenos Aires Peter Howitt, Brown University Axel Leijonhufvud, UCLA and University of Trento
Guest lecturers include Michael Bordo, Rutgers University, Macello De Cecco, Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, Andrew Haldane, Executive Director of Financial Stability, Bank of England,
Lars Jonung, Economic and Financial Directorate, European Commission, Katarina Juselius, University of Copenhagen,
Werner Roeger, Economic and Financial Directorate, European Commission, and Roberto Tamborini, University of Trento.
This year's course will be focused on macroeconomic crises, such as the recent global financial crash, and their implications for economic theory.
The course will attempt (1) to put the most recent episode into a broader context by discussing the history of financial crises in different countries
and different eras, (2) to explore to what extent existing theories should be applied, adapted, or revised, in order to shed light on the causes and
consequences of crises, and (3) to analyze the role that economic policy and financial regulation play in creating, exacerbating, or possibly mitigating crises. A core set of lectures will be given by the course’s three directors; Daniel Heymann of the
University of San Andrés and the University of Buenos Aires, Peter Howitt of Brown University and Axel Leijonhufvud of Trento University. In addition there
will be lectures from a variety of guests. Our hope is to bring many different perspectives to bear and to engage the participants in a critical discussion of
these alternative perspectives. The course will consist mainly of these lectures, but some time will also be devoted to discussing,
with the participation of the students, analytical and experimental exercises that may serve as inputs for future work on the subject.
The Trento Summer Schools are intended for advanced
graduate students and post-doctoral scholars. People interested in participating in the Summer School are encouraged
