Join us at our 11th Annual Conference "Productivity Growth, Climate Change, and Digitalization at Times of Repeated Shocks", jointly organised by CompNet, EIB & ENRI at the Headquarters of the EIB in Luxembourg on September 14 - 15, 2022.
A conference jointly organised by the Competitiveness Research Network (CompNet), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH).
Reint E. Gropp (IWH) and Jörg Rocholl (ESMT Berlin) talk about "The Future of Banking during and after the Coronavirus Crisis" at Berlin Science Week 2020. (in German)
This policy dialogue will bring together different stakeholders to show preliminary evidence based on firm level data on France, Germany and Italy on how the pandemic and subsequent aid given has affected their level of productivity.
The Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH) – Member of the Leibniz Association is organizing a workshop on "Challenges to Financial Stability" on August 30th and 31st, 2021. We aim for an in-person conference to be held in Halle (Saale), but will switch to a hybrid or virtual format if required by future pandemic developments.
This year, the Competitiveness Research Network (CompNet) celebrates its 10th Annual Conference, together with Banque de France as co-host, which will (hopefully) take place in Paris. The goal of this conference is to enhance academic and policy discussion on the effects of COVID-19 on productivity, and to provide a forum for new policy-oriented research.
The Full-fledged Conference has been postponed to 18-19 February 2021 (tbc). A short online event will take place on 22 September. It will include a keynote speech by Marc Melitz where he will present the special chapter he co-authored in the CompNet Firm Productivity Report and a policy panel tentatively titled "How Covid-19 is reshaping international trade and capital flows" with Philip Lane (ECB), Gian Maria Milesi-Ferretti (IMF), Caroline Freund (WB) and Beata Javorcik (EBRD).
Die Corona-Krise hat den deutschen Arbeitsmarkt erheblich erschüttert. Schon kurz nach Einsetzen der Pandemie im März 2020 mussten Unternehmen durch beispiellose Eindämmungsmaßnahmen um ihr Überleben kämpfen, viele mussten Kurzarbeit anmelden und die Zahl der Arbeitslosen erhöhte sich rasch. Vor diesem Hintergrund diskutiert der 17. IWH/IAB-Workshop zur Arbeitsmarktpolitik die Entwicklung, Determinanten und Folgen betrieblicher Dynamiken, sowie deren gesamtwirtschaftliche und individuelle Auswirkungen.
The workshop provides a platform to discuss new developments in the field of empirical and applied macroeconomic modelling and aims at bringing together academic researchers and practitioners. We invite applied and theoretical papers dealing with time series, forecasting, economic uncertainty and expectations. Papers that explicitly cover the macroeconomic modelling on forecasting and uncertainty are particularly welcome.
