David Miles at the Keynes Society

David Miles became Managing Director and Chief UK Economist at Morgan Stanley in October 2004. He joined from Imperial College, University of London, where he retains the role of visiting Professor of Financial Economics. He specialises in research on financial markets. Miles worked for the Bank of England for several years after graduating from Oxford. After a spell in the economics Department at Birkbeck College, London he was Chief UK Economist for Merrill Lynch. He joined Imperial College in 1996. He has published widely on many aspects of finance and macroeconomics. His recent book “Macroeconomics: Understanding the Wealth of Nations”, jointly written with Andrew Scott of the LBS, has just appeared in second edition. An earlier book, “Housing, Financial Markets and the Wider Economy” (1994) analysed the changing pattern of housing and housing finance in the UK.

In the 2003 Budget Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown announced that he had asked Miles to undertake an independent review of the UK housing market focusing on the absence of much longer-term fixed rate lending. The Miles Report was published by HM Treasury in the Spring of 2004. Miles was appointed a non executive Director of the FSA in December 2003 and took up his post on the Board of the FSA in Spring 2004.

This should be a superb meeting for both AS and A2 students wanting to broaden and deepen their understanding of the current economic crisis.
