讲座摘要：

主题1：U.S. Economic Outlook and Risks 2017

Donald Trump’s stunning victory in U.S. presidential election came as surprise to experts and pollsters. However there is an economic basis to Trump’s victory. The U.S. economy is recovering but at a moderate pace. There is plenty of discontentment, which is giving rise to populism and protectionism. What is improving? What could be better? What are the issues and risks ahead? What is the connection between the recovery of U.S. economy and the slowdown and economic transition in China?

主题2：The Long-Run Determinants of Indian Government Bond Yields

What are the long-run determinants of Indian government bonds’ (IGBs) nominal yields? Does John Maynard Keynes’s supposition that short-term interest rates are the key driver of long-term government bonds hold over the long-run horizon, after controlling for various economic key factors, such as inflationary pressure and the pace of economic activity? Does the government finance variable – the ratio of government debt to nominal GDP – have an adverse effect on government bond yields over a long-run horizon?
