Activities:
I have been elected as a foreign distinguished member of the Suomalainen Tiedeakatemia (Finnish Academy of Science and Letters).
This is a learned society covering the full range of academic disciplines which is devoted to the promotion of scientific and scholarly research and serves as a bond uniting researchers engaged in these activities at the highest level. It functions as a traditional learned society in the sense that its membership is limited and it selects its new members on their academic and scientific merits. It pursues its declared aims by arranging lectures and discussion meetings, publishing scientific papers, awarding grants and making recommendations and statements of opinion to the authorities in matters concerned with scientific and academic research and those who practice it. The Academy is represented on many scientific committees and in various organizations and foundations.
Qualifications
B.A. (Hons) University of New England

Research Interests
Professor Lloyd is a world-respected economic historian and political economist who has been a visiting professor in recent years in the Nordic Centre of Excellence on the Welfare State (Nordwel) based in Helsinki and is now a visiting professor at the Finnish Centre of Excellence in History. Professor Lloyd has been the President of the Economic History Society of Australia and New Zealand and the Treasurer of the International Economic History Association.
Professor Lloyd's research interests are in several fields. He has published extensively in the following areas: the history of the Australian capitalist system, particularly regimes of regulation and the issues of resource-curse development, the role of the developmental state, and pension regulation; the history of Social Democratic Welfare Capitalism on a world-wide scale of the past century or more; the comparative world-wide history of settler capitalist economies (including Australia); indigenous participation and hybridity in the history of the Australian economy; long-run interactions of geopolitics, economies, and environments; socio-economic evolution theory; and the philosophy and methodology of social science history.
