In December 2014 Professor Emeritus Niels Thygesen turned 80
On that occasion the Department of Economics at the University of Copenhagen hosted an international conference in his honour on Friday, 5 December. The general theme of the conference was: FINANCING THE FUTURE - Challenges for Europe, China and an interdependent world. The conference included sessions on three subthemes in which Niels Thygesen has been, still is – or is becoming - active: 1) The euro and financial integration in Europe, 2) Economic and financial reforms in China, and 3) New approaches in international finance.
The speakers at the conference included prominent scholars and senior past or present policy officials with whom Niels Thygesen has interacted in designing and monitoring the euro, in discussing Chinese reform prospects, and in reviewing, through the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), advances in analyzing financial behaviour.
