 conomics at the University of East Anglia (UEA)\, in Norwich. Dr Liliana H
 arding has a long-standing research interest in the political economy of m
 igration\, while her teaching is focussed in the areas of labour economics
  and European economies. She is currently the convenor of the East Anglia 
 Research Migration Network\, an interdisciplinary research group at the UE
 A designed to facilitate participatory action research in topics related t
 o international migration. Her research interests further extend to the de
 velopment of economic systems\, regional economies and the implications of
  public arts and culture for wellbeing and urban economies.\n\n*Talk Overv
 iew:*\nIn the same way as the resolution of the financial crisis has been 
 sought through austerity across the board\, migration policy beyond the Gr
 eat Recession has focused on downward revisions of ‘acceptable levels’
  of immigration.  And as concerns about the implications of austerity on r
 ising inequalities and general access to public services are rising\, limi
 tations to migrants’ access to the labour market and the welfare system 
 are now sold as localised patches to society-wide challenges. In this cont
 ext\, this talk proposes to explore the extent to which a long period of a
 usterity has warranted the call for more restrictive immigration policies\
 , and explores the significance of distributional effects of immigration. 
 It reviews the economic effects estimated for the UK from migration and it
 s expected restriction linked to Brexit\, and stresses the role of skill i
 n the economic migration debate.  Finally\, the talk reflects on the signi
 ficance of mass migration flows for economies experiencing it at various p
 oints in time\, and makes a brief reference to the recent refugee crisis i
 n Europe.\n\nPlease contact the seminar organisers \nPhilip Arestis (pa267
