Konferencja
Szczegóły
The global and European economy have been operating under increasingly unstable conditions for a considerable period of time. Initially prompted by the global financial and eurozone crises, they were later joined by the migration crisis, the turmoil of Brexit and the Covid pandemic as well as technological disruptions, calls for a green transformation of economies and geo-political tensions between China and the USA. More recently, the growing threat of inflation in times of high debt as well as the war Ukraine and the economic sanctions imposed on Russia in response to it by Western economies have exacerbated the instabilities. How does this impact economic development of national economies, firm behaviour, international business relations and what are appropriate economic policy responses at the national, European and global level in such an unstable environment? These are leading questions to be discussed on this Polish-German conference with a special, but not exclusive focus on Germany, Poland and the Polish-German relations. Areas of interest are, among others, the following issues:
COVID-19-induced structural changes in the economy
Changes in international value chains and trade policy
Inflation theory and anti-inflation policies
Energy Policy
The impact of economic sanctions and counter-sanctions
Digitalization and EU competition policy
Geo-economic developments and system competition, particular with regard to China and Russia
The conference is open to discuss a broad spectrum of questions on the current economic and economic policy challenges from Polish and German perspectives. It will consist of a keynote speech, moderated plenary debates and topical sessions with presentations and discussions. The main language of the conference is English; a selected part is held in German.
