On 13 January, 2025, Professor Huw Dixon, an internationally recognized economist and a Professor from Cardiff Business School of Cardiff University, was invited to visit the School of Liberal Arts of Macau University of Science and Technology. He was warmly received by Associate Professor Zhang Hongru and Assistant Professor Tian Maoshan of the School of Liberal Arts of Macau University of Science and Technology. The lecture attracted around 100 students and teachers.
Professor Huw Dixon enjoys a high reputation in the international economics community and is well-known for his in-depth research on price behavior, inflation, and macroeconomic phenomena. During his visit to Macao, Professor Huw Dixon brought his latest research findings to shed light on the dynamics of price setting during Greece's economic crisis. He also gave a lecture entitled "Endogenous Frequencies and Large Shocks: Price Setting in Greece during the Crisis", offering valuable insights into the complexities of price determination in times of economic distress.

The lecture focuses on Greece's price movements during the crisis, utilizing data from the Greek CPI as a foundation. The study reveals notable shifts in price-setting practices during the economic shock, with macroeconomic variables such as inflation and output growth playing a crucial role in determining the frequency and magnitude of price changes. The successful holding of this seminar promoted academic exchanges between teachers and students and broadened students' international horizons. We look forward to strengthening cooperation in the future and jointly producing more high-level academic outputs.
