the 49th Annual Urban Affairs Association Conference, we welcome participants to Los Angeles, the City of Angels, located in a region that is as diverse as it is beautiful and economically vibrant. Our committee includes faculty members from five universities in the Southern California region: California State University, Los Angeles; California State University, Long Beach; University of California, Irvine; University of California Los Angeles (the conference host campus); and University of Southern California. We represent a diverse range of urban scholarship in the fields of Environmental Studies, Geography, Political Science, Public Policy, Urban Planning and Urban Studies. Collectively, we have labored to create an engaging conference experience. We embraced the opportunity to create a series of events and local tours that showcase the city’s strengths, address challenges we face as a region, and consider how we collectively contribute to creating solutions. The Opening Plenary is set to kick off the con- ference with a focus on affordable housing and homelessness – a wicked problem many perceive as the most pressing local challenge of the last half century. The discussion, Rights to Decent Housing: Local Lessons on Housing Affordability, Supply and Homelessness, to be held on April 24th at 4:00pm, will feature three compelling personalities whose responses will include critical discussions about an extremely ambitious local response to home- lessness implemented by Los Angelenos to date, a homelessness sales tax estimated to generate $355 million annually to address homelessness. We hope that your cup runneth over from your LA experience, enjoy!

  • Europe After 1992: Three Essays
    ESSAYS IN INTERNATIONAL FINANCE ESSAYS IN INTERNATIONAL FINANCE are published by the International Finance Section of the Department of Economics of Princeton University. The Section sponsors this series of publications, but the opinions expressed are those of the authors. The Section welcomes the submis- sion of manuscripts for publication in this and its other series. Please see the Notice to Contributors at the back of this Essay. The three papers contained in this Essay were present- ed in August 1990 at the Fifth Annual Congress of the European Economic Association at a panel organized by Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa, Deputy Director General of the Bank of Italy and former Director General for Eco- nomic and Financial Affairs at the Commission of the European Communities. His Introduction precedes the three papers. Michael Emerson, author of the first paper, is Ambassador of the Commission of the European Com- munities in Moscow and former Director for the Evalua- tion of Community Policies at the Commission in Brus- sels. Kumiharu Shigehara, author of the second, is Direc- tor of the Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies at the Bank of Japan, and former Director of the Policy Studies Branch at the Organisation for Economic Co- operation and Development. Richard Portes, whose paper completes the set, is Director of the Centre for Economic Policy Research, Professor of Economics at Birkbeck College in the University of London, and Directeur d’Etudes, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (at DELTA), Paris. We are grateful to Tommaso Padoa- Schioppa for giving us the opportunity to publish these papers and for his assistance in preparing them for publi- cation.
