C.M.T.A. National Reforms for the Implementation of the Lisbon Strategy: Their Monitoring, Assessment and Impacts

Slovenia, Kranjska Gora, 14–16 June 2007

Programme

The Institute of Macroeconomic Analysis and Development (IMAD) and the Conference on Medium-Term Economic Assessment (C.M.T.E.A.) decided to jointly host a conference on the implementation of the EU Growth and Jobs Strategy, known as the Lisbon Strategy. Implementation of this strategy has proved to be challenging, as it involves wider political and economic dimensions. Our intention was to animate a debate about improvements in national economic reforms among the institutions in charge of their implementation and monitoring. The main topics included the monitoring and assessment of reforms, forecasting in circumstances of incomplete delivery of reforms, and European co-operation in this field.

Invited speakers

  • Žiga Turk, Minister at the Government Office for Growth and Slovenian Lisbon Co-ordinator
  • Angel de la Fuente, Instituto de Analisis Economico, Barcelona
  • Luc Everaert, International Monetary Fund
  • Francis Bossier, Federal Planning Bureau, Belgium

Institutions in Transition

Slovenia, Radenci, 18–20 September 1997

Programme

The first conference that ran under the title Institutions in Transition was organised in 1997 to mark the 50th anniversary of economic planning in Slovenia.

Seven subsequent annual conferences were organised under the same heading. Their central message was that any attempts to impose new institutional setups on transition countries should take into consideration the existing informal institutions (e.g. social norms and ideologies) and that the outcome of transition crucially depends on the interests and power of different stakeholders involved.

Topics

- Political economy of transition

- Fiscal federalism

Invited speakers

  • dr. Marjan Senjur
  • dr. Svetozar Pejovich
  • Željko Bogetič
  • dr. Fareed M. Hassan
  • Reiner Eichenberger
  • Enrico Colombatto
