¨What type of Fiscal Union?¨
This document discusses independent fiscal institutions (IFIs) in the EU and Spain. It outlines two systems of IFIs - the Anglo-Saxon model and European model. National IFIs aim to increase transparency, discipline, and sustainability of public finances. The AIReF was created in Spain in 2013 to oversee budget stability. It monitors Spain's fiscal targets and evaluates compliance. Recent reports call for strengthening IFI roles, including establishing an Advisory European Fiscal Board to complement existing national fiscal councils.
Long-Term Sustainability of a Monetary and Fiscal Union
This document provides an overview of Jesús Fernández-Villaverde's presentation on the long-term sustainability of monetary and fiscal unions like the Eurozone. Some of the key ideas discussed are that monetary unions induce changes to member countries' political economies, both reinforcing and undermining sustainability. Understanding these changes is important to building a successful union. Evidence shows the euro reduced reform incentives in harder-hit periphery nations and increased them in Germany. Booms can obscure governance quality and change incentives and selection of politicians. There were two types of problems among troubled Eurozone nations: public debt issues for Greece and Portugal, and large real estate bubbles for Ireland and Spain.

Long-term Sustainability of a monetary and fiscal union.
This document summarizes Work Package 1 of the ADEMU research project, which aims to conduct analysis and develop proposals to ensure the long-term sustainability of the European Monetary and Fiscal Union. It discusses three components of the analysis: understanding sovereign debt crises, ensuring debt sustainability, and improving fiscal risk-sharing. It also summarizes several research papers that will contribute to each component and their key topics, such as minimizing future sovereign risks and designing a financial stability fund as a component of fiscal union.
Future Of Europe: The Next Big Challenge
The document summarizes the key challenges facing Europe in the future: abundance causing a conceptual economy rather than industrial; the rise of BRICS shifting the global economic center of gravity; climate change requiring an energy revolution; and demographic changes due to population aging. It discusses how these issues were initially addressed through policies across sectors when Europe was more optimistic, but then the financial and economic crises hit. Now, for Europe to have a big future story, it needs to play a role addressing these global challenges through the European Union and promoting its values on the global stage.

Dr. jules presentation final
1) Past interventions in the Caribbean aimed at spurring growth have not generated expected outcomes, as supply-side responses have not led to expected growth rates and employment levels.
2) Achieving growth, competitiveness, and jobs requires a long-term vision, acceptance that there are no quick fixes, structural economic reform, and attention to labor issues like high costs and brain drain.
3) The region needs to do things differently by adopting an integrated, ecological view of development; focusing on linkages between sectors like agriculture, tourism, and education; developing human resources through education; and taking a targeted, data-driven approach to interventions.
2007 06 13 Better Regulation.Kdm
The document discusses several megatrends affecting the world of work globally and in Europe, including globalization, new technologies, demographic shifts, and social changes. It argues for a preventative culture approach to occupational safety and health (OSH) regulation that is embedded within broader economic strategies and encourages corporate social responsibility. Key recommendations include developing national OSH strategies, mainstreaming OSH into other policies, using a variety of regulatory and non-regulatory tools, and taking a systems approach within companies that involves management, workers, and suppliers.
AFD Proparco - April 2018 Results Community Workshop
Presentation on private sector engagment as part of the April 2018 OECD/DAC Results Community Workshop.
Brussels etui - may 2014 - pavan
This document discusses the need for businesses to transition towards becoming "Corporation 2020" entities that generate positive social and environmental externalities. It notes that currently, the top 3,000 listed companies generate around $2.15 trillion in annual negative externalities. The speaker advocates for businesses to measure and report on their impacts across financial, human, social and natural capital. This more holistic approach would help businesses align their goals with society and become institutions that create shared value for all stakeholders. Key characteristics of "Corporation 2020" are goal alignment with society, generating positive externalities, prioritizing community, and operating as an institute.
Responsible Investing (part II) : what does really make a difference ?
Responsible Investing is a process in which the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria are taken into account along with the usual financial criteria.
Part I deals with listed RI (SRI funds and stocks) : Is it still a credible alternative against the mainstream ?
Part II deals with microfinance and impact investing
The author, Xavier Heude has been entirely dedicated to the development of Responsible Finance by the mean of promoting Impact Investing, mainly. He is convinced that Private and Institutional investors are growingly interested in putting some part of their money in business activities or projects where they can themselves follow up the financial performance, and last but not least, the social and environmental outcomes generated.
He is Co-founder of meso IMPACT Finance, a Luxembourg-based holding company aimed at taking stakes in SMEs that generate a social and environmental (measurable) impact. MIF helps them develop through a financial and extra-financial support (i.e. technical assistance).
He is also co-founder of Backbone, an advisory company specialized in the sourcing of projects that generate social / environmental impact. www.backbone.eu.com
Xavier Heude founded also the “PEERS Direct Investment” – registered trademark in 2011, after having stated for many years, that there are still quite few incentives and operational frameworks and guidelines allowing and encouraging a large public to invest in socially responsible business activities or to support valuable social initiatives.
A network is being built, in order to contribute to expand the mark and get it known worldwide.

Governments should maintain social equality and solidarity as values, in addition to prioritizing employment and innovation.

LEGITIMACY, EFFICIENCY AND INTEGRITY OF ADVOCACY: MOLDOVA’S EXPERIENCE
IDIS is a think tank in Moldova that focuses on advocacy and policy analysis to influence decision making. Through its National Business Agenda initiative, IDIS mobilized business associations to develop policy recommendations. This advocacy process helped business associations strengthen their capacities while providing expertise to influence anti-crisis plans. Key lessons were that think tanks need defined missions and ideologies, innovative approaches, excellent management, and optimism to achieve impact through connectors, experts, and champions of change. Moldova faced challenges of transition from 2001-2009 including a shift in government in 2009 and economic difficulties that new leadership tried to address through stabilization plans and EU integration.
BUSINESS INCUBATION AS ELEMENT OF BUSINESS SERVICE INSTITUTION AND SME DEVEL...
The core of the political and economic transformation of any country in transition (CIT) is
the creation of the private sector, the development of entrepreneurship and creation of small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They are consideredto be one of the principal driving forces in
economic development. SMEs stimulate private ownership and entrepreneurial skills, they are
flexible and can adapt quickly to changing market demand and supply situations, they generate
employment, help diversify economic activity and make a significant contribution to exports and
trade. SMEs also play an important role in innovation and the high-tech business, due to their
flexibility and creativity many of them became large businesses. In this process emphasis should be
laid on creation of a business friendly environment in which the transformation of the society
towards a market economy should be taken place
