This workshop aims to bring together a diverse group of scholars working on crisis, risk, and European governance. It is motivated by questions about how crises have shaped institutions and their policies and how European institutions, in turn, imagine, anticipate, manage, and sometimes even exacerbate a wide range of challenges, from growth and climate to security and conflict.
An open discussion about a paper by Carlo Altomonte and Giorgio Presidente that exploits a standard framework to map resource misallocation in order to assess the extent to which national (vs. supra-national) industrial policy tools (price subsidies and state aids) have led to suboptimal levels of productivity in the EU, with the ensuing policy implications for the design of the new Green Deal industrial plan.
