In December 2022 the Government announced a package of reforms aimed at driving growth and competitiveness in the financial services sector. Known as the 'Edinburgh Reforms', they comprise four main areas: a competitive marketplace promoting effective use of capital; sustainable finance; technology and innovation; and consumers and business.

As part of our work on productivity, funded by The Productivity Institute, we are holding a one-day workshop to discuss the relationship between financial stability and growth in the UK. We will explore the complex relationship between the financial intermediation sector and economic growth, with contributions from:

  • John Vickers (University of Oxford),
  • David Miles (Imperial College London)
  • John Thanassoulis (Warwick Business School),
  • Victoria Saporta (Bank of England)

Please note the programme available for download is currently only provisional, a final one with all confirmed speakers will be made available shortly.

High Dimensional Forecasting And It’s Pitfalls – M. Hashem Pesaran

Forecasting is central to macroeconomic policy making and risk management, and it is now routine to exploit data on a large number of variables to produce the forecasts. There are many techniques that can be used, such as penalized regressions, principal components, neural networks, ensemble, Bayesian and other forecast averaging techniques.
