Current Issues of Fiscal Policy
25 September 2015 ■ Year I ■ CERGE-EI ■ Politických vězňů 936/7, 110 00 Prague 1
The strong accent the EC puts on the efficiency of fiscal policy gives rise to a need for broader discussion among experts, from EU member countries as well as from associated and non-member states. The first year of this conference is expected to establish a tradition of a continuous exchange of opinions, not only between researches but also towards fiscal policy makers and executors. Whilst specific national aspects generate specific cases, the unified language of the EC in this area poses a challenge for the academic and decision-making spheres at national level to seek common procedures. The members of the scientific committee of the conference are leading specialists in this field and represent a guarantee of high standard in the organisation and course of the conference.
The first year of the European Fiscal Dialog will lay conditions for active participation of domestic and foreign attendees within three sections. To promote and popularise those views, a reviewed collection of contributions will be used, compiled pursuant to Thomson Reuters principles.
