ADEMU Researchers Review the Kick-Off Conference

After the ADEMU kick-off conference at the University of Cambridge, the researchers involved in the project were asked the following questions in order to provide a further insight into why they are involved in the project and why they think it is an important project. Here are some of their responses.

In your opinion, why is the ADEMU project important?

“The 2008 crisis is without doubt  the deepest and most protracted economic contractions  Europe has suffered  since the Great depression of 1929. Understanding the roots of this crisis and designing policies capable of preventing and/or managing this type of disturbances should be at the top of the research agenda. I think ADEMU will play a key role in this endeavour.” – Martín Uribe, Columbia University, ADEMU Associate Researcher

“It is important to establish a dialogue between policy makers, the general public, and academic economists. Unfortunately, this is not easy. A project like ADEMU can help.”Joachim Jungherr, Barcelona GSE, ADEMU Researcher WP3

“The ADEMU project brings together European economic policy debates and work at the research frontier to advance these debates.” – Thomas Hintermaier, University of Bonn, ADEMU Executive & Steering Committee

“The new architecture of the EU monetary and fiscal institutions and regulatory bodies represent a new regime of macroeconomic policies that are not yet sufficiently based on macroeconomic theory and evidence.  ADEMU project will analyze and critically review these issues and offer constructive feedback and policy recommendations.” – Radim Bohacek, CERGE, ADEMU Executive & Steering Committee, WP3
