Together with the Janeway Institute, the Faculty of Economics at the University of Cambridge is hosting the first edition of its Cambridge Alumni in Macro (CAM) conference. The aim of the conference is to bring together macroeconomic researchers with links to Cambridge in order to build networks across generations of alumni and also with current students.
Professor Stefanie Stantcheva (Harvard University) has kindly agreed to provide a keynote speech at the conference. She is the Nathaniel Ropes Professor of Political Economy at Harvard and founder of the Social Economics Lab. She is a member of the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Center for Economic Policy Research, the Econometric Society, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Since 2018, she is a member of the French council of Economic Advisers (CAE).
Stefanie studies the taxation of firms and individuals, as well as how people understand, perceive, and form their attitudes towards public policies. Her work has centered around the long-lasting effects of tax policy – on innovation, education, and wealth. Stefanie has also explored people’s attitudes towards taxation, health care, immigration policies, environmental policies, race, and social mobility using large-scale Social Economics Surveys and Experiments.
