嘉宾简介
 Finn E. Kydland
Dr. Finn E. Kydland is the Jeffrey Henley Professor of Economics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the Richard P. Simmons Professor of Economics (part-time) at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). Professor Kydland received his B.A. from the Norwegian School of Economics (abbreviated NHH in Norwegian), and his Ph.D. from CMU. After previous appointments at NHH, CMU, and the University of Texas at Austin, he joined the UCSB faculty in 2004, where he is also the director of the Laboratory for Aggregate Economics and Finance. He is an Adjunct Professor at NHH and a Research Associate for the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. He was elected a Fellow of the Econometric Society in 1992.

Professor Kydland was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2004 jointly with Professor Edward Prescott of Arizona State University. Professors Kydland and Prescott received the Prize for their research on business cycles and macroeconomic policy, specifically, the driving forces behind business cycles and the time inconsistency of economic policy. More recently, Professor Kydland has conducted research on the role of monetary policy, domestically as well as internationally. For example, why have nominal variables, such as the aggregate price level and nominal interest rates, been much more synchronized, cyclically, across major nations than real aggregates, such as real GDP? In the housing arena, how does the nature of mortgage contracts in various countries, in particular the relative prevalence of fixed- versus flexible-rate mortgages, interact with monetary policy to yield real effects? Finally, Professor Kydland has studied Ireland and Argentina as two important case studies involving successes and failures in policy.
James A. Mirrlees：
 Sir James A. Mirrlees was awarded the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel in 1996.  The Nobel Prize was for his “fundamental contributions to the economic theory of incentives under asymmetric information.”  When economic agents have incomplete and asymmetric information, how can contracts be written and institutions designed to handle incentive problems that arise from these informational asymmetries? Sir Mirrlees’ work on optimal income taxes has led to a method fundamentally useful for the optimal design of economic policy under asymmetric information.

In recent years, Sir Mirrlees has done significant research on China’s economic development.  He is the advisor to the China Center for Public Finance and has delivered numerous lectures and speech on China’s economic reforms and development. He completed a research project on China’s social security reforms, along with Nobel Laureate Peter Diamond at MIT and provided policy suggestions to the Chinese government.   He has met with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and discussed private enterprises development in China.

Sir James A. Mirrlees was born in Minnigaff, Scotland.  He was Edgeworth Professor of Economics from 1968 to 1995 at Oxford University, and Professor of Political Economy at the University of Cambridge after 1995.  Since 2002, Sir Mirrlees he has been Distinguished Professor-at-Large at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and was appointed Master of Morningside College, CUHK since 2009.  He was knighted in 1997 for his contributions to economics.
