Sciences Po's School of Management and Impact hosts guest lecture by Harvard's Jason Furman
Prominent Economist Jason Furman to Deliver Lectures at Sciences Po
Jason Furman, a distinguished economist and the Aetna Professor of the Practice of Economic Policy at Harvard University, will be collaborating with Sciences Po's School of Management and Impact this semester as a Guest Lecturer.
Furman's lectures on "Understanding Macroeconomic Fluctuations" have received enthusiastic praise from students and faculty for their depth, clarity, and relevance. His engaging style and insights into the macroeconomy have managed to stimulate students' curiosity, according to Natacha Valla, Dean of the School of Management and Impact.
The collaboration is particularly relevant given the current state of the global economy, which stands at a crossroads, facing uncertainty due to macroeconomic prospects. With the need to understand the interplay between fiscal and monetary policy and macroeconomic and financial developments, Furman's expertise is invaluable.
Furman's research focuses on inflation dynamics, labor market transformations, fiscal sustainability, and the evolving global economic order. He served as the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Barack Obama and has been affiliated with prestigious institutions such as the Peterson Institute for International Economics and the Brookings Institution.
Furman's current work offers critical insights into macroeconomic challenges like monetary tightening in advanced economies and fiscal pressures in developing nations. He has emphasised that building mutual understanding and exchanging ideas across the Atlantic is as important as it has ever been, and there is no better place to do that than Sciences Po.
The School of Management and Impact has long been a hub for intellectual rigor and transformative education. Florent Bonaventure, the Executive Director of the School, notes that hosting thought leaders like Jason Furman underscores their dedication to providing students with a world-class education.
As Furman's lectures inspire discussions on fiscal policy, economic resilience, and monetary strategy, the School continues to solidify its position as a leading institution for sound economic analysis feeding decision-makers in all sectors.
The collaboration between Jason Furman and Sciences Po's School of Management and Impact demonstrates Sciences Po's commitment to equipping students with solid fundamental knowledge and critical thinking skills. It also deepens their engagement with pressing issues of the time, enriching their academic environment and contributing to the global discourse on economic policy.
Furman expressed his enthusiasm about his engagement with Sciences Po, stating that he always learns a lot from the European and global perspectives he encounters there. This collaboration is surely set to be an enriching experience for both Furman and the students of Sciences Po.
