Economic policy

The promise of economic prosperity lies at the heart of the European project. Yet, the global financial crisis hit the Union heavily, seriously endangering citizens’ trust in the common currency. While European economies still grapple with its consequences of the crisis, the root causes of the Euro crisis are far from being abolished. In this policy field crucial for the future of the European Union as a whole, we enrich various dimensions of the debate. Grounded in our expertise on the institutional architecture of the Economic and Monetary Union, we deliver concrete proposals for reforms of the Eurozone. Furthermore, we focus on economic integration and the Single Market as well as rising inequalities within the EU. Search by keyword or filter by date, author or area of work to find articles.
