Leipzig is a perfect location for this event for three reasons. Firstly, Leipzig University stands out as one of oldest and most prestigious academic institutions in Germany (founded in 1409). Secondly, the city of Leipzig has experienced a successful transformation process. Today, she flourishes with a dynamic economy and society, providing an outstanding quality of life to her citizens. Thirdly, the Faculty of Economics and Management Science of Leipzig University has become an important spot for studies and research in economics, with special focus on environmental economics and economic policy. photo: Gunther Schnabl Besides featuring an outstanding academic program, the four-day conference will provide a platform for discussions on the transformation of the central and eastern European economies from central planning into market economies, which has come along with a shift from totalitarian states to democracies. Among others, the keynote speaker Maria Petrova from the New Economic School in Moscow will explore the role of information for the political economy in Russia. On the last day of the conference, the subject of environmental policy will be brought to attention in the context of our event for pupils and the subsequent panel discussion. Taking stock, it has to be acknowledged that 30 years after the fall of the Berlin wall, the convergence process of the eastern part of Germany is far from being completed. The income level in eastern Germany is stuck far below the west, with no clear perspective of further catch up. With the difference in wealth being high as well, the failed convergence process is becoming increasingly linked to political polarization. The panel organized by the Halle Institute for Economic Research on „Ost-West- Produktivitätslücke: Ursachen und Folgen“ will explore the economic policy options to boost economic activity in the eastern part of the country to ensure equal living conditions. The panel by the Institute of Economic Policy of Leipzig University in cooperation with the Hanns Martin Schleyer Foundation aims to analyze to what extend the strengthening of market forces would enhance the ability of the eastern part of Germany to catch up. I hope that the four-day conference of the Verein für Socialpolitik in Leipzig will help to develop new thinking to reconstitute economic dynamics in all parts of Germany and to ensure social cohesion.
