Great Economics Blog to Follow - Danny Quah

Professor Danny Quah from the London School of Economics has a superb blog and I recommend it heartily to economics teachers and students. It is particularly excellent for understanding developments in the global economy, not least Danny’s work in plotting the changing centre of gravity in the world economy over the long term. Here is the link to use.

The LSE Public Events team has just released their programme for the New Year, there are plenty of really interesting talks coming up and you can access the Spring 2012 Events Programme by clicking on this link
