8th CefES International Workshop
Tuesday, 31 January 2023
9:15 - 18:30
Aula Martini, Agorà Bd. Ex U6 (floor - 1)
Blended mode
Due to the pandemic shock, inflation 'returned' in the eurozone. The energy crisis triggered by Russia's war in Ukraine then added further pressure, leading to an annualised inflation rate of 10 per cent as of September 2022. These trends could continue in the short term due to current developments in energy markets, value chains and wage increases, despite the restraining monetary policies implemented by the ECB. However, the inflationary outlook is bleak even in the medium term. Indeed, the ongoing de-globalisation could lead to a real change of macroeconomic regime and the establishment of an inflationary distortion, by virtue of the contraction of international trade, technology transfer, and the financial and migration flows that would follow.
From these perspectives, the Center for European Studies (CefES) analyses these scenarios and discusses recent scientific findings and policy solutions with Nobel Prize-winning economist Michael Spence, politicians and researchers. The workshop is the first event in the BICOCCA25 programme of celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the foundation of the University of Milan-Bicocca
