Bruce Preston appointed to Reserve Bank of Australia's Monetary Policy Board
type: NewsArticle
title: Bruce Preston appointed to Reserve Bank of Australia's Monetary Policy Board
description: The appointment was announced in press releases by the Australian Treasury, and by the RBA. The story also broke on ABC, the Australian national broadcaster. Professor Preston, a distinguished macroeconomist, will bring valuable expertise to the board. Preston studied at Princeton University in the US, gaining his MSc and PhD, after which he cut his teeth as an academic, working as an assistant professor and then associate professor of economics at Columbia University in New York. He then moved back to Australia in 2012, where he took on a full-professor position at Monash University. Preston is currently serving as a Professor of Economics at the University of New South Wales. His impressive background also includes recent roles as an advisor at the RBA and at the Treasury. Fellow Australian economist, Justin Wolfers, shared the news across his Twitter/X, BlueSky and Threads accounts, generating significant coverage and praise from economists on social media. Wolfers praised the appointment, writing: "Hard to think of a better appointment to the RBA board than my old mate, Bruce Preston. By any measure he's Australia's leading monetary economist. Good news for the Bank, for Australia, and for economics. (Many moons ago we were baby economists together at the RBA.)" Preston's term at the RBA is set to commence on March 1, 2026, lasting for five years. The Government has taken steps to reinforce the strength and leadership of key economic and financial institutions, especially during these uncertain times. This selection process was comprehensive and included consultations with the Opposition. A panel made up of the Treasury Secretary, the Reserve Bank Governor, and Martin Parkinson, a former Secretary to the Treasury and Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, was responsible for the appointment. They used a skills matrix to ensure a diverse range of expertise within the board. The Government also expressed gratitude to the outgoing member, Mrs. Alison Watkins…

3rd biennial “Africa in the Global Economy“ conference
type: Event
title: 3rd biennial “Africa in the Global Economy“ conference
description: Africa’s role in the global economy is being reshaped by regional ambitions and external pressures. While the AfCFTA has generated momentum, intra-African trade remains fragile, exposing gaps in in-frastructure and readiness. Meanwhile, external powers continue to influence Africa’s trajectory. The expiry of AGOA preferences and the introduction of reciprocal tariffs under recent U.S. policy have lim-ited trade options and affected industrial production. China’s duty-free access offer and infrastructure investments gain appeal, while the EU conditions preferential access on sustainability and political re-quirements. These dynamics intersect with intensified global competition for Africa’s critical raw material, raising questions about their potential economic and political impacts. Topics of interest include international trade, finance, and development, but contributions exploring other areas with clear links to Africa’s regional or global economic integration are also welcome. Early-career researchers and contributors from the Global South are strongly encouraged to submit. The conference will take place in person, beginning on Wednesday, 2 December in the afternoon and ending in the early afternoon of Friday, 4 December. Submission Authors should submit extended abstracts (up to 500 words) outlining the contribution to the literature, methodology, and main results. Submissions are accepted exclusively via the conference submission form: https://www.teilnehmermanagement.idos-research.de/africa-in-the-global-economy-/ For questions, contact socioeconomic@idos-research.de with “AfrEcon 2026” in the subject line.

Professor Kevin O’Rourke Receives Alice Murray Award for Economic History
type: NewsArticle
title: Professor Kevin O’Rourke Receives Alice Murray Award for Economic History
description: Professor O’Rourke will receive the award on February 19, 2026. Following the presentation, he will hold a lecture titled 'From most-favoured-nation to reciprocal tariffs: what is unsurprising about Trump’s tariffs, what is surprising, and why it matters'. The lecture will take place at 17:00 in the Neill Lecture Theatre at Trinity Long Room Hub, Trinity College Dublin. In anticipation of his lecture, Professor O’Rourke emphasized the importance of historical context in understanding current U.S. tariff policies, noting the shift from non-discriminatory trade practices that the United States has traditionally endorsed. The Alice Murray Distinguished Scholar award is named after Dr. Alice Effie Murray (1877-1951). She was the first woman to earn a degree from the London School of Economics (LSE), and dedicated her career to studying the commercial and financial relations between England and Ireland. The award commemorates her legacy within the field of economic history. On receiving the award, Prof. O'Rourke said of Alice Murray: "I am particularly pleased to be giving a talk in her honour since she was among other things a historian of trade and trade policy, and so throughout my career I have been following in her footsteps." With a distinguished career at the intersection of economic history and international economics, Professor O’Rourke’s work has shaped modern understandings of globalization and trade policy. His previous academic affiliations include positions at All Souls College, Oxford, and Harvard University, among others. CEPH co-directors praised O’Rourke's influential work, highlighting his rigorous research and engagement with contemporary economic issues. This award not only acknowledges his achievements but also embodies the spirit of inquiry that Dr. Murray fostered in her own academic pursuits.

What Studying Business Taught Me About Economics
type: Article
title: What Studying Business Taught Me About Economics
description: Before diving deeper, let me state clearly: I don’t believe this is the best strategy that an aspiring economist could take for their studies. If you love economics, it’s much more efficient to simply study economics. Still, my undergraduate degree — and my subsequent experiences working in industry — have given me some valuable perspective about business and economic theory. In particular, this article shares some largely intangible factors that I think about often when reading (relevant) economics research papers, or thinking about my own future research. I hope that it offers food for thought to current business students who may be thinking about a switch to economics within their current program or for a postgraduate degree. Without further ado, let’s dive in! The economically ideal firm: a rarity in reality When firms are discussed in economic theory, they’re usually depicted as lean, efficient, profit-maximizing entities that adjust rapidly to market conditions. In a similar vein as the ever-present rational economic man, this is good enough for the purposes of learning, and it greatly simplifies the math that economists must perform (without losing important nuance). Still, from my time in both studying businesses and working in them, I’ve learned and experienced many things that show this isn’t always the case. In fact, I think it’s almost never the case that a firm lives up to the economic ideal of a profit-maximizing machine (a hot take for the Neoclassicals in the room, but perhaps not surprising for the rest of you!). There are many reasons for this, some of which surprised me when I started working for the first time. Soft skills are hard to measure, but intensely important in the real world In the world of business, it’s no secret that soft skills are important. Soft skills include the ability to interact well with other coworkers, and importantly to present oneself and one’s work as useful and impressive. An employee who does great work but isn’t very…
disambiguating description: When I was an undergraduate student and took my first economics class, I was hooked. But, rather than major in economics, I chose to major in business. That’s because I wanted to understand how the economy worked at its “smallest” unit, which I surmised was the individual business. Economics can of course study individuals and their decision-making too, but at least on the supply side, I thought that a single business could be considered the smallest unit of the economy. Economic theory can tell us how firms behave in a perfectly theoretical world…but how do they actually function? This was a question that captured my attention, and I decided to major in business (with a concentration in management consulting) to understand the working world as much as I could.
