[edit] Early intellectual influences and research interests

After Melbourne, Vines relocated back to the United Kingdom, studying Economics at Cambridge University. Here he met and worked with the Nobel Prize-winning economist, James Meade. Meade himself had worked under - and been deeply influenced by - John Maynard Keynes. Meade in turn influenced Vines. Today Vines continues to work on macroeconomics, work that can be said to have been directly inherited in a verbal tradition from Keynes through Meade. His interests reflect this influence, spanning international macroeconomics, the reform of the international financial architecture and monetary economics; fields in which he has widely published.
