Conference – 1995
Productivity and Growth
10-11 July 1995
As in previous years, a range of prominent international and Australian
academic and policy economists participated in the 1995 conference. Two
papers for the conference were written by members of the Bank's Economic
Group. Three papers were written by international economists (Robert Gordon
from Northwestern University, Michael Sarel from the International Monetary
Fund and Kengo Inoue from the Bank of Japan), and two were written by
well-known Australian economists, Steve Dowrick from the Australian National
University, and Ian Castles from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
A volume, containing the conference papers and discussions, was
published on 27 September 1995.
