On February 26, the annual report from the European Economic Advisory Group (EEAG) at the CESIfo Institute in Munich will be presented. In addition to providing a comprehensive forecast of the European economy for the coming year, this year’s EEAG report addresses the challenges of how to exit the crisis without compromising our long-term prospects.
A central chapter of the report includes an analysis of the dramatic drop in trust towards financial intermediates, bankers and financial markets. Suggested strategies for rebuilding trust include a rating system and trust-based compensation scheme.
In addition, the report focuses on the consequences of the large deficits for the sustainability of public finances, assesses the role of the euro in the current crisis and devotes a special chapter to the US fiscal and external deficits.
The EEAG report is presented by Professor John Hassler, Institute for International Economic Studies, Stockholm university, and Professor Luigi Guiso, European University Institute in Florence – winner of the 2010 Smith Breeden Prize for best paper in the Journal of Finance: “Trusting the Stock Market”.
Moderator is Anna Stellinger, Director SIEPS.
