Regime Change? The European Economy to 2030

Over the next two years, the CER will be conducting a research programme on the European economy to 2030, which will be run from our new Berlin office. By focusing on the long-run trends that will shape the European economy, we hope to provide a strategy for European policy-makers, who have spent the last decade fighting crises. It seems likely that the EU will have to become less technocratic, and while the EU will continue to focus on efficiency, institutions and rules will be needed that allow it to distribute the costs and benefits of economic change in a way that national publics consider to be fair. That will not be an easy task, but we will try to offer some guidance.
