  Harvard University's Professor Jeffrey Williamson is well-known internationally for his work on economic history but his influence has spread to a broad range of economic fields, including international and development economics.
  
  Tonight he will talk on `Globalisation and the Great Divergence', discussing how volatile prices of primary commodities (agriculture and minerals) have affected the economic growth rates of primary-exporting countries over the past three centuries, and the implications for the differences in living standards between countries rich in natural resources and others.
  
  The Joseph Fisher lecture, organised by the University's School of Economics, has been presented at the University almost every second year since 1904.
  ...
  Professor Williamson was Chairman of the Harvard Economics Department from 1997 to 2000 and has been the Laird Bell Professor of Economics at Harvard since 1984.He has been highly awarded as a teacher of economics and has researched and written extensively on globalisation issues over the long term, publishing 25 books and many articles in leading journals.
  
  He has been associated with the World Bank since 1976 and is currently a Research Fellow with the London-based Centre for Economic Policy Research.

  In this lecture Professor Williamson assesses the rising GDP per capita gap over the period 1782 and 1913 between today's rich countries and developing countries - the great divergence.His lecture offers evidence that from 1870 to 1939 a faster rise in export prices versus import prices raised long-run growth in rich countries but did not do so in poor countries.Poor countries' relative economic performance also suffered because the volatility of the index of export to import prices between 1820 and 1870 was greater than for rich countries.
  
  Professor Williamson is the Laird Bell Professor of Economics at Harvard University and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research.Professor Williamson has served as President of the Economic History Association (1994-1995) and Chairman of the Harvard Economics Department (1997-2000).He is the author of about twenty five books and almost two hundred scholarly articles in economic history, international economics and economic development.His most recent book is Globalization and the Poor Periphery before 1950: The Ohlin Lectures(MIT 2006).He has held visiting professor or visiting scholar appointments at least a dozen different institutions including the Australian National University, Cambridge University, Stanford University, and the Stockholm School of Economics.
  
  This lecture is part of the ANU Trevor Swan Distinguished Lectures in Economics.This lecture is free and open to the public.A reception will follow the lecture.
