Quarto appuntamento di una serie di working lunch realizzati congiuntamente da ECFR Roma, SDA Bocconi e l’Institute for European Policymaking @ Bocconi University
Economics
Sunset of the economists
Two decades ago, China’s reformist economists walked the halls of power and dictated policy. Now, they have been sidelined in favour of a new priority: national security. What happened?
Balancing the books: Why the EU needs a European debt agency
European leaders have an opportunity to reform the EU’s fiscal rules at the European Council meeting in December, but they are currently divided by competing concerns over stability and growth. A European debt agency could achieve both of these, and provide the EU with the money it needs to address today’s geopolitical crises
The introverted power: Why this time really might be different for China’s economy
China’s zero-covid fallout may represent the start of a new chapter for China – one in which it becomes an increasingly unpredictable force in the world
Instrument of control: How the EU can protect itself in the global technology competition
The EU’s new economic security strategy contains strong foundations – but the bloc now needs to create a new strategic technology control instrument
The EU isn’t even running the race for techno-industrial leadership
The EU needs understand the root causes of the risks to its economic security – especially the race for techno-industrial leadership between China and the US
Bond villains: The European Central Bank’s new strategy
If the ECB is disciplined in its use of the recently announced Transmission Protection Instrument, this could turn out to be exactly what Europe needs
