Peter
Neary is Professor of Political Economy at University College
Dublin since 1980. He is also a Research Fellow of the Centre
for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) in London and a Research
Associate of the Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) at the
London School of Economics. He was a Founding Council Member
of the European Economic Association in 1985, serving as Vice
President in 2000 and holding the position of the President
in 2002. Other current or past professional activities include
President of the Irish Economic Association (1990-92), Member
of the Royal Irish Academy (1997), Scientific Committee Member
of the European Trade Study Group (from 1998), President of
the International Economics and Finance Society (1999-2000),
and International Research Fellow at the Kiel Institute of World
Economics (from 2002).
Professor Neary has contributed extensively to the theoretical
literature on international trade with a wide range of influential
articles in important economic journals (American Economic
Review, Econometrica, Economica, Economic Journal, European
Economic Review, International Economic Review, Journal of Economic
Literature, Journal of International Economics, Oxford Economic
Papers, Quarterly Journal of Economics, The World Economy).
He has also published on consumer theory (including rationing
and index numbers), industrial organization (especially the
economics of research and development), and macroeconomics.
His principal current research interest is oligopoly in general
equilibrium, and its implications for a variety of issues in
trade, competition policy and R&D policy. A related current
interest is the theory of foreign direct investment, both the
'greenfield' case and the much less studied case of cross-border
mergers and acquisitions.
The Global Economy Lecture will be based on Professor Neary's
Presidential Address to the European Economic Association, delivered
at the Annual Conference in Venice 2002 ('Globalisation and
market structure', Journal of the European Economic Association,
1:2-3, April-May 2003, pp. 245-271). |
