The Conference "Future of Europe" in a Nutshell
In March 2018, KOF Swiss Economic Institute hosted the conference "Future of Europe" that gathered economists from all over the world to discuss pressing questions related to the future of European institutions. One major outcome of the conference will be an eBook to be published on VoxEU. Find here a short wrap-up of the event.
Vivid, interactive, highly interesting and at times hot-tempered it was, when the Crème de la Crème of economists interested in the future of Europe came together at one table in order to discuss and answer two main questions:
- What are the lessons from the Bretton Woods institutional framework (and Globalization) for the Future of Europe (and for the euro area)?
- Is an EMF (European Monetary Fund) the answer? Is it sufficient or are other institutions needed? How should these other institutions be designed?
During the event, Prof. Dr. Paul de Grauwe externe Seitegave an interview to CNN Money Switzerland about Europe and Brexit, one year after the public vote on leaving the EU.
