  • PRIORITIES of the POLISH PRESIDENCY Speech by Herman Van Rompuy President of the European Council to the TEPSA Conference at the College of Europe (Natolin Campus)
    EUROPEAN COUNCIL THE PRESIDENT EN Warsaw, 1 July 2011 EUCO 39/11 PRESSE 223 PR PCE 14 PRIORITIES OF THE POLISH PRESIDENCY Speech by Herman Van Rompuy President of the European Council to the TEPSA Conference at the College of Europe (Natolin Campus) It is a great pleasure to address this timely conference on the state of European Union affairs and the Polish Presidency in particular. I am glad to have this opportunity to visit Natolin and I should like to thank for you the invitation. Last year, I spoke also at the College of Europe, but in Bruges. Having one Institute with two campuses in two countries is a great example of European cross border cooperation! And it is a pleasure to see so many students again today, from Warsaw, from Lodz and beyond! I am aware that it is a longstanding custom of TEPSA to have biannual meetings on current EU priorities, linked in particular to the (incoming) Council Presidency. A rich tradition! You will not be surprised, though, that my perspective on the six-month timeframe is different. As permanent President of the European Council, it could not be otherwise! Although I should nuance the word "permanent": it is for a term of 2,5 years… My job is to bring an increased sense of continuity to the Union's work at the level of Heads of State and Government. As you know, the European Council does not exercise legislative functions, like the Council which Poland will chair. The European Council, bringing the Union’s highest executive leaders around the table, is more like a strategy body.

  • Tirole's Industrial Regulation and Organization Legacy in Economics
    Tirole’s Industrial Regulation and Organization Legacy in Economics Drew Fudenberg March 21, 2015 I thank Glenn Ellison, Mira Frick, Ryota Iijima, Eric Maskin, Lones Smith, Patrick Rey, Jean- Charles Rochet, Al Roth, Nathalie Tirole, and Jean Tirole for helpful comments. NSF grant SES-1258665 provided financial support. 1. Introduction “Je suis un chercheur; je ne suis pas capable de parler de tout et n’importe quoi.” 1 Jean Tirole was awarded the 2014 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel for his analysis of market power and regulation. This essay will try to convey the main ideas of that work, along with some of Tirole’s positive and methodological contributions to the study of imperfect competition and its implications for industrial organization. This narrow focus emphasizes my connections with Jean, and leaves out his many important contributions in such fields as asset pricing, behavioral economics, and organizational economics, which on their own would constitute a stellar career, as well as his arguably Nobel- level work on banking and corporate finance. 2 Jean’s phenomenal energy and breadth are reflected in the fact that he has distinct and influential collaborations with each of Philippe Aghion, Roland Benabou, Mathias Dewatripont, Oliver Hart, Bengt Holmstrom, Paul Joskow, Jean-Jacques Laffont, Josh Lerner, Eric Maskin, Patrick Rey, and Jean-Charles Rochet. Any of them could have been asked to write this essay, and each would have their own take on Jean’s story; I would like to share a little of my own. I first met Jean in 1978 when we both started graduate school at MIT.

  • College of Europe and EUI to Offer Joint Master Programme
    College of Europe and EUI to offer Joint Master Programme Two-year Master in European and Transnational Affairs is at the heart of updated framework agreement between the College of Europe (CoE) and the European University Institute (EUI). The two longest-serving centres of excellence in European studies have substantially overhauled their framework agreement, aiming at much closer academic and administrative cooperation. The new agreement was signed by EUI President Renaud DEHOUSSE and College of Europe Rector Jörg MONAR at a ceremony in Brussels today, attended by Tibor NAVRACSICS, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport. A joint master programme that combines the strengths of the two institutions is at the heart of the new agreement. The Joint Master Programme in European and Transnational Affairs, or ETNA programme, provides analytical insights and practical skills to understand how public policy is designed between states, international governmental organisations, and non-state actors. The programme, which should welcome its first students in 2021-2022, will enable young leaders to solve the challenges of our societies today as well as tomorrow. CoE Rector Jörg MONAR commented: “This agreement marks a significant further step for the cooperation of the College of Europe and the European University Institute. With the offer of this highly innovative joint two-year Master programme we intend to enable well qualified students to help states and societies to better respond to the numerous and increasing transnational challenges of our times.” EUI President Renaud DEHOUSSE said: “Combining our strengths, the European University Institute and the College of Europe aim at attracting tomorrow’s leaders.

  • The Role of the State in Economic Development
    THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GUIDO TABELLINI CESIFO WORKING PAPER NO. 1256 CATEGORY 5: FISCAL POLICY, MACROECONOMICS AND GROWTH AUGUST 2004 An electronic version of the paper may be downloaded • from the SSRN website: www.SSRN.com • from the CESifo website: www.CESifo.de CESifo Working Paper No. 1256 THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Abstract This paper discusses the recent literature on the role of the state in economic development. It concludes that government incentives to enact sound policies are key to economic success. It also discusses the evidence on what happens after episodes of economic and political liberalizations, asking whether political liberalizations strengthen government incentives to enact sound economic policies. The answer is mixed. Most episodes of economic liberalizations are indeed preceded by political liberalizations. But the countries that have done better are those that have managed to open up the economy first, and only later have liberalized their political system. JEL Code: O1, O11. Keywords: political liberalization, democracy, economic development. Guido Tabellini IGIER Bocconi University 5, Via Salasco 20136 Milan Italy [email protected] I am grateful to Francesco Giavazzi for several helpful discussions, to Andrew Feltenstein and participants in the IMF conference on the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) region on April 7,8, 2004, Washington DC, for helpful comments, to Torsten Persson for sharing with me his data set on democractic institutions and economic development (Persson (2004)), to Gaia Narciso for excellent research assistance, and to Bocconi University and the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research for financial support.

  • Renegotiation and the Dynamics of Contract Design
    European Economic Review 34 (1990) 303-310. North-Holland Incomplete Contracts and Renegotiation RENEGOTIATION AND THE DYNAMICS OF CONTRACT DESIGN Patrick BOLTON* Ecole Poiytechnique, Paris and Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA 1. Introduction Besides sunk costs and reputation, long-term contracts are an important form of commitment. In fact, in the imaginary world of Arrow-Debreu there is no room for other forms of commitment than the fully contingent long- term contract. At the risk of oversimplification, one could describe a large part of the theoretical research effort of the past three decades as a systematic attempt at understanding the implications of gradually limiting the set of feasible long-term contracts further and further away from the set of fully contingent Arrow-Debreu contracts. Thus, the theory of incentives was born in the 1960s when information constraints were introduced. Later, other constraints relating to the difftculties of describing and verifying contractual performance have been imposed thus leading towards the first formal foundations of a theory of property rights and ownership. More recently, the role of renegotiation in limiting the commitment power of contracts has become the focus of attention. Basically, the possibility of renegotiation amounts to the addition of another constraint on the set of feasible contracts: now contracts must be not only ‘incentive compatible’ but also ‘renegotiation-proof. (When parties can commit not to renegotiate they have a choice of when to allow for renegotiation and when not. If this commitment possibility is withdrawn they are forced to renegotiate whenever there are ex-post gains from renegotiation. Since the outcome of this renegotiation is perfectly predictable they might as well write renegotiation- proof contracts).
