UK may not be a bed of roses, but compared with eurozone's nightmare ...
The Daily Telegraph, 28/02/2013, p.2, Jeremy Warner
In a recent paper, Paul de Grawe, of the London School of Economics, and Yuemei Ji of the University of Leuven, convincingly argue that excessive eurozone austerity is an entirely unnecessary panic reaction to widening sovereign debt spreads, which are in themselves a direct consequence of deficient European monetary policy.

Deputy Governor defends BoE's inflation policy
Financial Times, 28/02/2013, p.2, Claire Jones
Bean cautioned that central banks "cannot, and should not seek to, prevent the necessary deleveraging and rebalancing of production away from non-tradeables towards tradeables." Mr Bean, a professor at the London School of Economics before his move to Threadneedle Street, has long questioned the wisdom of nominal income targets in his academic research.

Are you looking for trouble? - Bath time for chancellors
Times Higher Education, 28/02/2013
Our Director of Corporate Affairs, Jamie Targett, has acted to deflect criticism of Poppleton's Chancellor after an attack on the University of Bath for appointing the Earl of Wessex its next incumbent of the post. Joanna Lewis, a Bath alumna who now lectures at the London School of Economics, said the Earl's appointment "makes a mockery of what higher education should be built upon: merit, fairness, application, industriousness and ability".

Why research in the jury room is a bad idea
The Times Online, 28/02/2013, p.1, Unattributed
Reacting to the ten questions put by the Vicky Pryce jury last week, the judge, Mr Justice Sweeney, said that the jury had displayed “absolutely fundamental deficits in understanding”. The questions and his reaction received massive media coverage and a great deal of comment.
The author, Michael Zander QC, is Emeritus Professor at LSE.
Question: What is having no reasonable doubt? Answer: Being sure
The Times Online, 28/02/2013, p.1, Unattributed
One of the more reasonable questions put by the jury in the first trial of Vicky Pryce was “can you define reasonable doubt?” To find someone guilty, jurors have to be “sure” of their guilt and judges get guidance as to how they should sum up to the jury from the Crown Court Benchbook issued originally by the Judicial Studies Board.
The author, Michael Zander QC, is Emeritus Professor at LSE.
