Europe in Unchartered Territories: Challenges and Policy Responses

The inflationary outlook seems gloomy for the eurozone. This workshop, jointly organised by CefES-DEMS and the JRC, assembles a group of policymakers and researchers to present and discuss recent scientific results and advance policy solutions

Due to the pandemic shock, inflation has "returned" in the eurozone. The energy crisis triggered by Russia's war in Ukraine has added further pressure, leading to a 10% headline inflation in September 2022. Supply-side developments related to energy markets and supply chains, or second rounds wage effects, are likely candidates for further inflationary pressure in the short term. The inflationary outlook is gloomy also in the medium-term, as most of the favorable supply-side developments during the Great Moderation are at risk of undoing due to de-globalization forces reducing international trade and technological, capital, and migratory flows.


Against these scenarios, this 8th CefES International Workshop, jointly organised by the Network for European Studies: CefES-DEMS and the Joint Research Centre, assembles a group of policymakers and researchers to present and discuss recent scientific results and advance policy solutions.


The morning session features a Keynote Speech by Mike Spence (NYU, Bocconi). A Policy Panel follows the keynote speech contributed by Marco Buti (EC Commission), Daniel Gros (Center for European Policy Studies), and Agostino Consolo (ECB). The afternoon session is an academic session and foresees one Keynote Speech by Tommaso Monacelli (Bocconi University) and four CefES speakers (Claudio Morana, Andrea Colciago, Silvia Marchesi, Gino Gancia).
