Monetary and fiscal policy will be the focus of a seminar sponsored by the
Whittemore School of Business and Economics Friday, March 14.
Benjamin Friedman, the William Joseph Mair Professor of Political Economy
at Harvard University, will present “What We Still Don’t Know
About Monetary and Fiscal Policy.” Sponsored by the UNH Economics Department,
the seminar will be held in McConnell Hall, Room 312, from 2:10 p.m. to 3:30
p.m.
“Professor Friedman’s visit to UNH is a real honor for the Whittemore
School and the university. I encourage you to join the faculty and students
of the Economics Department for what is sure to be a lively and interesting
talk about the current state of the U.S. economy and the role that monetary
and fiscal policy can play in helping to avoid a significant downturn,” said
Michael D. Goldberg, associate professor of Economics.
Friedman has authored 10 books and more than 130 articles, and has made
significant contributions to our understanding of monetary and fiscal policy,
government debt, and economic growth. He has held important positions at
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve Bank
of Boston.
