Quizzing several academic economists, the inquiry heard that the stimulus was a waste of money, that the recession was a normal part of the business cycle and should have been left for the free market to resolve. It was also argued that the human tragedy would have been far worse without the billions of dollars stimulus, regardless of whether it results in higher interest rates and higher taxes. Indeed, one economist believed more money should be spent on lifting the unemployment benefit to stimulate the economy further. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd told CNN from New York where he is attending the United Nations General Assembly, before heading to G20 Leaders Meeting Pittsburgh later this week, that calls for an immediate withdrawal of stimulus from the global economy were "misplaced".

  • Essays on Climatic Disruptions and Monetary Policy
    Essays on Climatic Disruptions and Monetary Policy Augustus J. Panton September 2020 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University ©Copyright by Augustus J. Panton 2020 All Rights Reserved Declaration Chapter 2, co-authored with Professor Warwick McKibbin, was published as a chapter in the Reserve Bank of Australia’s 2018 Conference volume, Central Bank Frameworks: Evolution or Revolution? Working Paper versions of the material were also published by the Brookings Institution’s Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy and the ANU Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis (CAMA). My contribution is 70 percent. Chapters 3 and 4 are solely authored by me. Chapter 5, which is co-authored with Warwick McKibbin, Adele Morris and Peter Wilcoxen, is forthcoming in the Oxford Review of Economic Policy. My contribution is 65 percent. Otherwise, this thesis is my own work and has not been previously submitted for a degree at any institution. Augustus J. Panton September 2020 ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I give thanks to the Almighty God for his blessings and mercy throughout this journey. Without the incredible mentorship, friendship, and inspiration of Professor Warwick McKibbin, my PhD supervisor, this journey would not have been as intellectually stimulating and rewarding as it was. In our very first research meeting, I only had disjointed research questions. Not only did I leave that meeting with a much clearer and focused direction, but every subsequent discussion with Warwick was more than a course in applied macroeconomics. His sharp intellect and unparalleled analytical rigor, grounded in deep understanding of economic theory and real-world policy applications, shaped the framework of this thesis and my outlook on policy issues.

Its mandate ranges across all the dimensions of international policy debate in Australia - economic, political and strategic – and it is not limited to a particular geographic region. Its two core tasks are to: • produce distinctive research and fresh policy options for Australia’s international policy and to contribute to the wider international debate. • promote discussion of Australia’s role in the world by providing an accessible and high quality forum for discussion of Australian international relations through debates, seminars, lectures, dialogues and conferences.
