ESA (ACT) First Friday Economics 
September 2019 - NOTE: EARLY START
Andrew Leigh MP

The Economic Society of Australia (ACT) and the Research School of Economics at the ANU wish to invite you to the September edition of First Friday Economics (FFE). FFE is an exciting initiative aimed at enriching the professional and social lives of Canberra economists. We aim to provide a congenial setting, on the first Friday of every month, to allow the interaction of mainly young Canberra economists, with a major Canberra economist invited to give a short address. 

For the September event, we are pleased to have Andrew Leigh presenting his new research on prisons: explaining the return to mass imprisonment in Australia.

Dr Leigh is an Australian politician, author, and former professor of economics at the ANU. He has been a member of the Parliament of Australia for the ACT since 2010. Over his academic career, Leigh published over 50 journal articles in the disciplines of economics, public policy and law and over 100 opinion pieces. 

Finger food and drinks will be served
