Understanding Financial Crises: Causes, Consequences, and Policy Responses

Understanding Financial Crises: Causes, Consequences, and Policy Responses by Professor Stijn Claessens, International Monetary Fund GGD is an interdisciplinary seminar that brings together faculty and graduate students from across the social sciences, especially from political science, public policy, economics, sociology, and law. Our shared interest in this seminar is to gain a better understanding of the causes and consequences of recent global economic and socio-political changes; we are especially interested in how globalization affects the distribution of wealth and well being, as well as governance among and within nations.
