Kate Barker Seminar

You are warmly invited to the following Department of Urban Studies / SHEFRN half-day seminar on 15th May:

Kate Barker - Housing Cycles, Financial Crises and the Supply of Housing

15th May 2009, T415 Adam Smith Building, Bute Gardens, University of Glasgow

The seminar will be Chaired by Professor Duncan Maclennan CBE (University of St Andrews) with contributions from Professor Kate Barker CBE (Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee), Dr Eric Levin and Professor Gwilym Pryce (Department of Urban Studies, University of Glasgow). The seminar will consider two key questions: (1) How does supply responsiveness change over the cycle and when is housing construction likely to recover? and (2) Does the credit crunch change fundamentally the housing supply debate?

Attendance at the seminar is free of charge but we need to know numbers for catering and admin purposes. Please let Betty Johnstone know if you plan to attend (B.Johnstone@socsci.gla.ac.uk ). For maps and directions, go to www.gla.ac.uk/about/locationmapsandtravel/mapsandtravel/maincampusmap .
