CEPS Ideas Lab 2019 - EconPol Lab

Convergence and stabilisation in the Eurozone

-

The Egg, Rue Bara 175, 1070 Brussels

Since the French-German Meseberg declaration from June 2018, the debate about euro-area reforms has gathered new momentum. The EconPol Europe Lab Session will discuss chances and risks of recent policy initiatives such as an unemployment re-insurance scheme or tools incentivising structural reforms in the member states. Can these instruments deliver what their proponents promise? How could a compromise on EMU reform look like that finds support in all member states? 

Speakers:
Anders Borg (Former Minister of Finance, Sweden)
Mathias Dolls (Senior Economist, ifo Institute)
Anita van den Ende (Deputy Director General, Dutch Treasury)
Pier Carlo Padoan (Former Minister of Economy and Finances, Italy)
Charles Wyplosz (Professor of International Economics, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva)

Moderator:
Iain Begg (Professorial Research Fellow and Co-Director of the Dahrendorf Forum, European Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science)
