The Ghosts of Christmas: macro worries of the past, the changing economy in the present and what this means for our future

The Economics Society of Australia (ACT) is pleased to have Emeritus Professor Bob Gregory reflect on the Ghosts of Christmas: macro worries of the past, the changing economy in the present and what this means for the future.  Is it a maligned spirit with some spectre of Christmases past, that haunt our future, or is it a cheerful spirit?

Professor Gregory has made major contributions to the development of economic policy in Australia. From 1985-95 he was a member of the Board of the Reserve Bank of Australia, and from 1986-91 he was a member of the Australian Sciences and Technology Council.

Professor Gregory is an elected Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences (1979), and has been nominated the Economic Society of Australia Distinguished Fellow (2001). In 1983-84 he held the Chair in Australian Studies at Harvard University. In 1996 Professor Gregory was awarded the Order of Australia Medal.
