Europe is currently stuck in a condition of anaemic growth and high (youth) unemployment. While monetary policy is probably close to reaching the limits of its scope of action, and fiscal policy remains constrained by the high levels of public sector debt in many EU countries, commentators and EU officials have been calling now for years for a vigorous structural reform agenda. Many of these problems are not however limited to Europe: China is being pushed to reform its banking sector amid softening growth, while economists remain puzzled by the slow pace of the US post-crisis recovery. Indeed, the G20 has identified structural reforms as one of its key themes both under the Australian and now Chinese rotating presidencies.
Such political mandate has pushed organisations like the IMF, the OECD and the European Commission to increase even further their research on the topic. However, crucial questions remain: what is the impact of reforms at different points of the macroeconomic cycle? Which countries should implement what reforms? What is the long-term effect of reforms? How to transform economic reforms in political success?
With Zhu Min (IMF Deputy Managing Director), Henrik Enderlein (Hertie School of Governance; Jacques Delors Institut - Berlin), Jean Pisani-Ferry (Commissioner-General for Policy Planning reporting to the French Prime Minister; Hertie School of Governance), Jeromin Zettelmeyer (Director General, Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy), Catherine Mann (Chief Economist and Head of the Economics Department, OECD), Tito Boeri (President of the Italian Social Security Administration; Università Bocconi), and many others.
