Growing Differently? Financial Cycles, Austerity, and Competitiveness in Growth Models since the Global Financial Crisis

The Max Planck Online Workshop in Comparative Political Economy (MAX CPE) is a new online seminar series in Comparative Political Economy, hosted by the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies and coordinated by Arianna Tassinari, Björn Bremer, and Lucio Baccaro. Inspired by the success of online seminars in neighboring fields, this new online seminar series aims to foster exchanges, connections, and conversations in the global community of scholars of Comparative Political Economy (CPE) and beyond. MAX CPE will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of new research in CPE, taking advantage of the online format to transcend the usual territorial boundaries even beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. The seminar series will be launched in January 2021. Seminars will be scheduled monthly and last 90 minutes. After a presentation lasting around 30 minutes, a discussant will provide initial comments, followed by time for questions and further comments. Zoom links and papers will be circulated in advance to registered participants on our e-mail list. We aim to build a network of regular participants. Please see the workshop website for more.
