“America First” and Financial Stability: 26th Minsky Conference
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN:
April 18–19, 2017
Levy Economics Institute of Bard College
Blithewood
Annandale-on-Hudson, New York 12504
The 2017 Minsky Conference will address the implications of the new administration’s “America First” policies, focusing on the outlook for trade, taxation, fiscal, and financial regulation measures to generate domestic investments capable of moving the growth rate beyond the “new normal” established in the aftermath of the Great Recession, without jeopardizing financial stability. It will also seek to assess the impact of different financing schemes on both infrastructure investment and the return of central bank monetary policies to more neutral interest rates. Since these new policy proposals will have a global impact, the conference will focus on their implication for the performance of European and Latin American economies.
