Thank you for attending ACE 2019

ACE 2019 was held in Melbourne at the Pullman on the Park Hotel on July 15-16.  350 attendees heard keynote presentations from Professor Sir Tim Besley (LSE) and Professor Wendy Carlin (UCL), as well as a stimulating session on the role of economics in public policy by three of Australia’s leading public sector economists.

A new, and well-received, innovation was a set of six special panel sessions that brought together speakers from government, business and academia to discuss topics including wages growth, diversity, communicating economic ideas and the future of neoliberalism.  The almost 100 contributed papers spanned topics from gender and the labour market to financial econometrics to the economic history of the Middle East.

The conference dinner, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, was an opportunity to meet old and new friends and to acknowledge this year’s ESA award winners (and to gaze out on the hallowed turf of Australia’s number one sports stadium).

The conference finished with two Young Economists events – an excellent Young Economist’s address on housing in Australia by Professor Rachel Ong (Curtin), and a standing-room only debate on Millennials in the workforce: lazy and entitled or unfair stereotype.
