Dr. Menzie Chinn will present: "Changes in International Economics - Do We Need to Alter Our Approach?"
For many years, what we taught in international economics courses - the optimality of free trade, on the efficacy of tariffs and economic sanctions, the determinants of trade deficits - remained largely the same. With the erosion of the consensus for the post-War international economic order, the models have changed, but some of the lessons have remained the same. It remains to be seen whether policymakers remain willing to learn those lessons.
Dr. Menzie Chinn is Professor of public affairs and economics. His research examines macroeconomic developments within — and interactions between — countries.
Professor Chinn is coauthor with Jeffry Frieden of Lost Decades: The Making of America's Debt Crisis and the Long Recovery (W.W. Norton, 2011). He is a Research Associate in the International Finance and Macroeconomics Program of the National Bureau of Economic Research. In 2015, Professor Chinn received the Leon D. Epstein Distinguished Faculty Research Award from the UW-Madison College of Letters & Science.
Professor Chinn has been a visiting scholar at the International Monetary Fund, the Congressional Budget Office, the Federal Reserve Board, the European Central Bank and the Banque de France. He is coeditor of the Journal of International Money and Finance, and an associate editor of the Journal of Money, Credit and Banking. His work has been cited in The Economist, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Business Week, and he has been interviewed on Bloomberg, Reuters, Marketplace, NPR, and Wisconsin Public Radio. In 2000 and 2001, he served as Senior Staff Economist for International Finance on the Council of Economic Advisers.
