# 2019 Politics and Economics of International Finance (PEIF) ## March 9, 2019 **This conference is closed to the public.** This is the fifth in a continuing series of annual one-day conferences on the Politics and Economics of International Finance. Our goal is to bring together scholars interested in economic and political economy issues in international financial relations. Rather than asking scholars to present a single paper, we ask several scholars to present a body of their ongoing research. Of course, this may include circulating a paper or papers in advance, but we are asking the scholar to present a broader overview of the work in progress. There will also be a roundtable discussion at the end of the day on an issue of more current relevance. The conference is sponsored by the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs and the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government, Harvard Kennedy School, and with the support of George Hoguet. ## Contact **Sarah Banse** *Events Manager.* 1737 Cambridge Street, Room K217 Cambridge, MA 02138 \[ [Map](http://goo.gl/maps/GxyRd) \] p: (617) 495-9006 f: (617) 495-8292 ## Conveners [### Jeffry A.
