Die Osterweiterung der EU - Integration oder Desintegration?

Type:

Munich Seminar

Print view

Lecturer(s):

Guy Kirsch, University of Freiburg, Switzerland

Topic:

Dass die Ost-Erweiterung der EU kommen wird, steht ausser Zweifel. Fraglich d�rfte es sein, ob sie zur Integration Europas beitragen oder aber die Gefahr von dessen Desinteg-ration heraufbeschw�ren wird. Dass der Erfolg des Erweiterungsprozesses von �konomischen Faktoren abh�ngt, ist offenkundig und wird weiterhin diskutiert. Weniger Beachtung finden die sozio-psychologischen Aspekte der Ost-Erweiterung der EU. Die Erfahrungen, die diesbez�glich im 19. Jahrhundert mit der Verbindung von Nationen und Staaten zu Nationalstaaten gemacht worden sind, lassen sich im 21. Jahrhundert bei der Analyse und Gestaltung eines suprastaatlichen und supranationalen Europas nutzen.

Policy Devolution in the European Union: Theory and Evidence

Type:

Munich Seminar

Print view

Lecturer(s):

Ignazio Angeloni, European Central Bank

Topic:

Political economy models and the literature on fiscal federalism suggest that the European Union should be entrusted with policy-making responsibility in areas where such policies have strong cross-country spillovers (i.e. an international influence), and in which national preferences are not too divergent. In the light of this normative principle, in a recent paper (Alesina, Angeloni and Schuknecht (2001)) we have examined the developments of the EU's policy-making role, in all main areas, in the last 30 years. Our conclusion is that the present allocation of policy-making responsibilities may be partly inconsistent with that normative principle.

The Adjustment to Macroeconomic Shocks in the EMU

Type:

Munich Seminar

Print view

Lecturer(s):

Professor Lars Calmfors, Institute for International Economic Studies, University of Stockholm

Topic:

The EMU means that other adjustment mechanisms must be substituted for monetary policy in the event of country-specific macroeconomic shocks. One such adjustment mechanism is nominal wage flexibility. Another possibility is a more active use of fiscal policy as a stabilisation policy tool. The lecture will discuss these two adjustment mechanisms. Is more wage flexibility likely to be forthcoming in the EMU and to what extent can that compensate for the loss of national monetary policy? How should fiscal policy best be conducted in the monetary union and how active should it be? The lecture will be based on work for a Swedish Government Commission on Stabilisation Policy in the EMU.

Im Zentrum steht dabei die interkulturelle Kompetenz als entscheidende Voraussetzung f�r erfolgreiche Gesch�ftst�tigkeit im Ausland. Die nationalen und kulturellen Besonderheiten, mit denen man im internationalen Umfeld umgehen mu�, gehen �ber Sprache und Kommunikationsgewohnheiten hinaus. Letztlich geht es um Denk- und Verhaltensweisen, Motivationsfaktoren, Sozialverhalten, Arbeits- und Managementstile, ohne deren Verst�ndnis die erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit mit ausl�ndischen Partnern nicht m�glich ist. Wichtig ist hier auch, mit der n�tigen Sensibilit�t die eigene Wahrnehmung als deutscher Manager im Ausland zu reflektieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird erl�utert, welche Schlussfolgerungen der E.ON-Konzern f�r die Begleitung und F�rderung der Auslandsaktivit�ten ihrer F�hrungskr�fte und Mitarbeiter zieht. Dabei geht es insbesondere um eine sorgf�ltige Vorbereitung und Planung des Auslandseinsatzes bis hin zur Einbeziehung der Familien.

Forecast on the Italian Economy and Public Finance

Type:

Munich Seminar

Print view

Lecturer(s):

Prof. Fiorella Kostoris Padoa Schioppa, Istituto di Studi e Analisi Economica, Rome, Italy

Topic:

Italy, like the major industrialised countries, is getting through a phase of recovery. The early-2002 dynamics is in keeping with last January's estimates. It confirms a relatively limited growth in the Bel Paese in the first half of the year and an acceleration since mid-2002. This confirms the ISAE forecast on GDP growth equalling on average +1.5% in 2002, with an acceleration to 2.8% in the last quarter of 2002. Indeed, this higher growth rate is maintained on average in 2003 too. Domestic demand components lead the expansion of the Italian economy both in the present and in the next year. On the contrary, the price growth occurred in early-2002 and the oil price rise bring about a higher inflation compared to the January estimate: in this new context, the Italian forecast on the inflation rate is 2.3% in 2002 and 2.1% in 2003. The deficit to GDP ratio is estimated to keep falling: it is 1% in 2002 and, pending further correcting provisions - which are however bound to be enforced through the Budget Law -, it will be .8% in 2003, thus showing better trends in public flows than those of most euro countries. Thus, thanks to the introduction of suitable correcting measures, the Italian balanced budget seems to be a feasible goal in 2003. However, the debt to GDP ratio is supposed to reach 100% in Italy only in 2004.
