Conference Motivation:
In recent years, economic growth in Europe has been unsatisfactorily low. Governments, parliaments
and international organisations are looking for ways to stimulate growth and improve employment.
The organisers have invited researchers at universities, international organisation and financial
institutions to submit papers in which they analyse the potential roles of monetary policy, financial
regulation and financial markets and institutions in efforts to revitalize the European economy.

The SUERF Marjolin Lecture and the SUERF Marjolin Prize
Robert Marjolin (1911-1986) was one of the most distinguished European economists of his generation and a
leading architect of post-war Europe. From 1948 until 1955 he was the first Secretary General of the OEEC
(Organization for European Economic Co-operation), an organization established to channel US Marshall Aid
into the reconstruction of Europe. Marjolin was a leading negotiator of the Treaty of Rome for France and Vice
President of the European Commission for Finance and Economics for ten years. He served as a Professor of
Economics at the Universities of Paris and Nancy, as well as an advisor to leading European and US Companies.
Since its inception at the 19th SUERF Colloquium held in Thun, Switzerland in September 1995, an eminent
speaker has delivered the SUERF Marjolin Lecture on a subject related to the topic of the accompanying
Colloquium. Past SUERF Marjolin Lecturers have included a winner of the Nobel Prize for Economic Science,
Central Bank Governors and eminent academics from Europe and overseas.
The SUERF Marjolin Prize (EUR 2,000) is awarded to the author(s) of the paper selected by the SUERF Council
of Management as having made the best contribution to the Colloquium and is restricted to author(s) below the
age of 40 on the 4 June, 2014 (co-authors must also fulfil this restriction). In awarding the Marjolin Prize, SUERF
wishes to honour his memory by supporting a young outstanding author’s publication. The Marjolin Prize will be
presented by the SUERF President, Professor Urs W. Birchler, and it is hoped that the awarded contribution will
be published by SUERF in a subsequent SUERF Study after the Colloquium.
Further information about the SUERF Marjolin Lecture and past winners of the SUERF Marjolin Prize can be
found on the SUERF website at www.suerf.org/marjolin
2014 SUERF Marjolin Lecturer - Olivier Blanchard
Economic Counsellor & Director of the Research Department, IMF, Washington DC
A citizen of France, Olivier Blanchard has spent most of his professional life in Cambridge, U.S.
After obtaining his Ph.D in economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1977,
he taught at Harvard University, returning to MIT in 1982, with whom he has been affiliated
since then. He is the Robert M. Solow Professor of Economics, and past Chair of the Economics
Department. He has been on leave from MIT since 2008, as Economic Counsellor and Director
of the Research Department of the International Monetary Fund. He is a macroeconomist, who has
worked on a wide set of issues, from the role of monetary policy, to the nature of speculative bubbles, to the nature of the
labor market and the determinants of unemployment, to transition in former communist countries, and to forces behind
the current crisis. In the process, he has worked with numerous countries and international organizations. He is the author
of many books and articles, including two textbooks in macroeconomics, one at the graduate level with Stanley Fischer,
one at the undergraduate level. He is a fellow and past council member of the Econometric Society, a past vice president
of the American Economic Association, and a member of the American Academy of Sciences.

About SUERF
SUERF – The European Money and Finance Forum was founded on 25th November 1963 in Louveciennes (France) by
a group of academics and bankers from France, Britain, The Netherlands and Belgium. SUERF is a network association
of academics, bankers, central bankers and other practitioners in the financial sector. The focus of the Association is on
the analysis, discussion and understanding of financial markets and institutions, the monetary economy, the conduct of
regulation and monetary policy, and related issues. Its events provide a unique European network for the analysis and
discussion of these and related issues. SUERF has evolved as a forum for the exchange of information, research results
and ideas. As such, its membership embraces central bank officials, commercial bankers, other members of the financial
community and academics. SUERF encourages dialogue among its three constituencies so that each gains from the
perspectives of the others. Members are drawn from all over Europe and beyond.
Mission Statement
SUERF strives to be the pre-eminent independent non-profit European association designed to create an active network
between professional economists, financial practitioners, central bankers and academics for the analysis and mutual
understanding of monetary and financial issues. This is to be achieved by international activities focused on its
Colloquia, conferences, lectures, seminars, publications, and the sponsoring of research.
