Senior economists from the Department of Economics and Labour MPs met this week to explore evidence-based strategies to support long-term growth and fiscal stability in the UK. The session, hosted through Oxford Elevate, focused on the urgent need for a comprehensive, credible fiscal strategy.
The discussion brought together MPs and senior parliamentary staff with three leading economists:
- Paul Johnson CBE: Provost of The Queen’s College and former Director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
- Michael McMahon: Professor of Economics at Oxford and specialist in macroeconomic policy and fiscal institutions.
- Tony Venables CBE: Senior Research Fellow at Oxford, President-Elect of the Royal Economic Society and a leading authority on productivity, spatial economics, and international trade.
