Professor Steve Keen

Professor Steve Keen is widely regarded as one of the world's most accurate analytical economists, voted in 1st place for the inagural Revere Award for Economics in 2010 by the (Real) World Economics Association for giving an early warning (initially in 1995) for the 2008 financial crisis using his highly advanced economic modeling system: MINSKY. Professor Keen has continued to refine his MINSKY system and it is in demand by national governments, central banks and financial institutions to dynamically model real economic inputs and outputs. In 2012 he was invited to give testimony at a Congressional Briefing in Washington, DC on Avoiding the “Fiscal Cliff” and the mistakes of the Great Depression to warn Congress on the dire consequences of austerity in the midst of a recession. More recently Professor Keen has done important work in the field of energy analysis as it applies to economics, and the wider social and environmental ramifications of our present energy use.

Professor Keen has participated in many previous AMI conferences and this year he will present on “A Parallel Currency Using Universal Carbon Credits as a Way of Addressing Climate Change.”
