Exiting the Crisis – Ireland, The Eurozone and the EU in 2010

 

About the Event:

On 23 February 2010, the European Economic Advisory Group (EEAG) at the Munich-based CESifo Research Group launched its ninth annual Report on the European Economy.

The report named Ireland as one of a small group of EU countries which it said pose a ‘real risk’ to the Euro Area. It emphasises in particular the fact that the Eurozone is not an optimal currency area, and the difficulties that arise for countries such as Ireland from the depreciation of contiguous currencies. 

At this event, Gilles Saint-Paul, chairman of the EEAG, discussed the findings of the report and the implications for Ireland, the Eurozone and the European economy.
 

About the Speaker:

Gilles Saint-Paul is a Professor of Economics at the University of Toulouse. He is also Director of the Labour Economics Programme at CEPR, Director of the Midi Pyrénées School of Economics and a Member of the French Prime Minister’s Conseil d'Analyse Économique.

Prof. Saint-Paul received his PhD from MIT in 1990. He has worked as a consultant for the IMF, the World Bank, the European Commission, and the British, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish governments. He has published four books and authored numerous articles, including a number of path-breaking contributions on the political economy of labour market reform. In 2007, he was awarded the Yrjö Jahnsson medal – for the best European economist below 45 years of age – by the European Economic Association.
