Is this really the ‘most dangerous man in Germany’?IWHThe Spectator, August 23, 2026
The 13th CompNet conference will gather frontier researchers with top notch policy advises on competitiveness.
The CompNet conference discusses questions related to firm productivity, competition on output and input markets, internal and external factors hampering the reallocation of factors of production and the diffusion and adoption of new knowledge and technologies as well as the implication of such barriers for welfare and economic growth policies and the role of globalization, trade and new technologies.
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)
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).

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.
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.
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.
