20th EUROFRAME Conference: Economic Policies amid increasing Geopolitical Fragmentation
The EUROFRAME group of research institutes (CASE, CPB, DIW, ESRI, ETLA, IfW Kiel, NIESR, OFCE, PROMETEIA, WIFO) will hold its twentieth annual Conference on Economic Policy Issues in Europe in Kiel on 7 June 2024, hosted by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy.
This conference brings together academics, and policy-oriented economists by providing a forum for debate on economic policy issues relevant in the European context. The global economic order seems to be undergoing a fundamental transformation, which is characterized by growing competition between China, Europe, and the United States and a shift from a rules-based to a more power-based system, while geopolitical conflicts are taking place in a highly interdependent world economy. The 20th EUROFRAME Conference will focus on the challenges to European economies from the new geopolitical environment. How can Europe improve economic resilience and avoid dangerous dependencies, safeguard competitiveness and rules-based trade? What will be the costs of decoupling, what are the risks with respect to achieving the goals of digital and green transformation? What is the role of European and global institutions in guiding national economic policy initiatives?
The Keynote Introduction will be given by Professor Moritz Schularick, President of the Kiel Institute.
Prof Iulia Siedschlag, ESRI, will discuss research on Trade and Sovereignty presented at the conference.
