Featuring Professor Ian Harper, Executive Director, Centre for Business and Public Policy and Associate Professor Mark Crosby, MBS


Hear two of Australia's leading academic economists share their insights on the Australian and International economies at the 2008 Macroeconomic Update in Sydney.

Professor Ian Harper and Associate Professor Mark Crosby will deliver a comprehensive update on global economic trends and issues in an insightful presentation session.

Are we headed for a recession?
In his annual update on Australia's macroeconomic outlook, Ian Harper will examine Australia's prospects of avoiding recession as the US global economies slow. He will also analyse the first Swan budget and offer his view on the outlook for interest rates, inflation and economic growth.
Professor Ian Harper's profile

Decoupling, Emerging Markets and the Australian Economy
Proponents of the view that many economies are now "decoupled" from the US economy usually point to very strong and continuing growth in emerging market economies. But what are the risks and prospects for countries such as Brazil, Russia, China, India and South Africa? Is there evidence of reform fatigue, and is "Dutch disease" a problem for resource exporters?
