Professorship by the NZ-UK Link Foundation in association with the School of Advanced Studies, University of London.Motu Senior Fellow Arthur Grimes has been awarded a Visiting Professorship by the NZ–UK Link Foundation in association with the School of Advanced Studies, University of London, UK. Arthur will spend three months, between September and November 2013, at the SAS delivering a public lecture series. He completed his PhD in the UK at the London School of Economics, and is looking forward to comparing his experiences with central banking with colleagues from that time and other leading policy-makers and academics. The NZ–UK Link Foundation was established to enhance links between New Zealand and the UK by facilitating academic and educational exchanges. The SAS is the UK’s national centre for the promotion and facilitation of research in the humanities and social sciences. Sir Graeme Davies, chair of the foundation, expects Arthur’s seminars to have a real impact on UK institutions. Emeritus Professor Anne Smith, from the University of Otago’s College of Education, also received a Visiting Professorship at SAS; the fellowships were awarded on the basis of thoughtful proposals and work with “limitless possibilities of linking New Zealand and the UK on many levels and for years to come”. More details about the Visiting Professorships are available from the SAS.  News/Media 2013-02-26T20:28:28+00:00 http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/publications/detail/allocation_and_predicted_cost_incidence_in_environmental_markets_heterogene/ http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/publications/detail/allocation_and_predicted_cost_incidence_in_environmental_markets_heterogene/#When:00:58:50Z Publications 2013-02-26T00:58:50+00:00 http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/publications/detail/value_and_natural_capital_examining_the_economists_perspective/ http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/publications/detail/value_and_natural_capital_examining_the_economists_perspective/#When:00:52:30Z Publications 2013-02-26T00:52:30+00:00 http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/publications/detail/tackling_new_zealands_agricultural_emissions/ http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/publications/detail/tackling_new_zealands_agricultural_emissions/#When:00:36:10Z Publications 2013-02-26T00:36:10+00:00 http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/publications/detail/a_new_zealand_regional_housing_model/ http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/publications/detail/a_new_zealand_regional_housing_model/#When:01:29:27Z Publications 2013-02-25T01:29:27+00:00 http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/publications/detail/export_performance_invoice_currency_and_heterogeneous_exchange_rate_pass-th/ http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/publications/detail/export_performance_invoice_currency_and_heterogeneous_exchange_rate_pass-th/#When:02:49:09Z Publications 2013-02-20T02:49:09+00:00 http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/publications/detail/cooperation_to_reduce_developing_country_emissions1/ http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/publications/detail/cooperation_to_reduce_developing_country_emissions1/#When:23:17:51Z Publications 2013-02-07T23:17:51+00:00 http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/publications/detail/roadmap_for_implementing_a_greenhouse_gas_emissions_trading_system_in_chile/ http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/publications/detail/roadmap_for_implementing_a_greenhouse_gas_emissions_trading_system_in_chile/#When:01:42:46Z Publications 2013-02-04T01:42:46+00:00 http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/news-media/detail/just_out_paul_cheshires_public_seminar_motu_research_update_23/ http://www.motu.org.nz/index.php?/news-media/detail/just_out_paul_cheshires_public_seminar_motu_research_update_23/#When:00:56:51Z Audio and slides from Paul Cheshire’s public policy seminar, “Cities: The need to understand them before we mess around with them”, are now available for download from the past PPS page.Motu has also just published our latest research update, Motu Research Update 23.
