Growth and inequality: Challenges for EU economies
Friday, 9 June 2017, Berlin
CALL FOR PAPERS
The EUROFRAME group of research institutes (CASE, CPB, DIW, ESRI, ETLA, IfW, NIESR, OFCE, PROMETEIA, WIFO) will hold its fourteenth annual Conference on Economic Policy Issues in the European Union in Berlin on Friday 9 June 2017. The aim of the conference is to provide an economic forum for debate on economic policy issues relevant in the European context.
The Conference will focus on two main challenges: Economic growth and inequality. Promoting high and socially inclusive growth has been a key issue on the European political agenda since many years. However, economic developments have also affected the distribution of income and wealth, with rising inequalities in a number of EU countries. The EUROFRAME group welcomes contributions related, but not limited to, the following questions: What is the relationship between economic growth and inequality? What are the effects of international trade, globalization, and structural change on inequality and growth? What are the impacts of structural reforms on growth and inequality? What are the impacts of labour market institutions and financial regulation/deregulation on growth and inequality? What are the effects of fiscal and monetary policies on inequality? Is it politically sustainable to accept more inequality or should inequalities be reduced in the EU and if so, how?
