Following a successful year of attracting some of the world’s most prolific thought-leading academics, Newcastle University Business School is proud to announce a new event series of inaugural lectures for 2012.  These have been specially created to introduce our new faculty members to the region.

This lecture is open to all but particularly suitable for those with an interest in economics.

Why are business cycles and crises larger in some societies than in other societies? Why are growth rates higher in some societies than in other societies?

Mich Tvede will be answering some key questions about business through using the general equilibrium theory.

In the lecture it will be described how general assumptions about firms and particularly consumers can be used in the theoretical comparison of different societies. These general assumptions allow behaviour that is at odds with economic man.
