Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying math that powers modern machine learning to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives, even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

The role of Cohesion policy in the fight against COVID-19 with Elisa Ferreira | 21 April 1:13:24

منذ 5 years1:13:24

1:13:24

The Coronavirus outbreak presents a major challenge to the entire European Union and solidarity is an important part of the response to this unprecedented crisis. Cohesion Policy funding is playing a central role in the EU's Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative, which aims to mobilise cohesion policy to flexibly respond to the rapidly emerging needs in the most exposed sectors, such as healthcare, SMEs and labour markets, and help the most affected territories in Member States and their citizens. At this event Elisa Ferreira, European Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms was in conversation with Jim Brunsden of the FT and Bruegel's Deputy Director, Maria Demertzis to discuss how the EU is making money available for those who need it the most. This event is part of a series of talks and debates with Europe’s political leaders jointly organised by the Financial Times and Bruegel.…

Global competition and digital change: updating European competition policy (panel 1) | 9 March 2020 1:28:29

منذ 5 years1:28:29

1:28:29

The question whether trade policy instruments are fit for coping with the rise of state capitalism and a new dimension of state subsidies has already been discussed intensively in trade policy debates. Whether in this context competition law might also need to be updated and whether this should encompass new instruments are less debated questions which the first panel addressed. The second panel built on this and discussed whether (and how) competition law needs to be updated with a view to ongoing digitization of the economy, seeing that digital technologies not only change the structure of markets but also open up new levels of strategic global competition. Access to data or digital infrastructure are important facets of this discussion in which Europe needs to find its own answers.…

How should we measure the digital economy? | 11 December 1:27:31

منذ 5 years1:27:31

1:27:31

The welfare contributions of the digital economy, characterised by the proliferation of new and free goods, are not well-measured in our current national accounts. In this event, we discussed how we can measure the value and contribution of free online goods offered by digital platforms that are not captured in macroeconomic variables like GDP. Avinash Collis presented the MIT Measuring the Economy Project he co-leads with Erik Brynjolfsson. After his presentation, a panel discussion addressed the challenges and implications of capturing digital economy in official statistics of well-being and inequality.

The great reversal-causes and implications of the rising corporate concentration in the US | 11 Dec 59:45

- Due to technical difficulties, there is no audio from 1:13-2:44 - Thomas Philippon presented his thesis on market concentration. He explained the reasons behind the rising corporate market power in the US and drew conclusions of the implications of this empirical finding on consumers, innovation, the functioning of markets and the economy as a whole. Specific questions that were addressed are: Are American markets giving up healthy competition? How does competition policy enforcement and regulation in the US compares with the EU? How can we ensure that markets are competitive and function without failures? How efficient are antitrust enforcement and regulation in the EU? What will be the implications of introducing geopolitical considerations in the EU competition policy following the debate around the Siemens/Alstom controversial merger case? The presentation was based on Thomas Philipon’s new book The Great Reversal: How America Gave Up on Free Markets.…

EU-Japan conference: leaders in AI development 1:33:06

1:33:06

This year’s EU-Japan conference, jointly organised by Bruegel and The Graduate Institute, Kobe University, will discuss Competition policy in the era of Artificial Intelligence. The conference will discuss the challenges brought by the economic impact of AI, with particular focus on the impact on competition as well as related policy challenges and ways to increase AI’s positive impact on the economy. We will also discuss the role of EU and Japan in the ongoing process of AI development. The focus on AI for this coming year is specifically relevant as Japan, like Europe as a whole, is at risk of being over-shadowed by the US and China. After the signature of the EU-Japan Partnership Agreement there is also much more scope and a strong ground for collaboration between the two regions.…

Is the European automotive industry ready for the global electric vehicle revolution? 1:25:31

منذ 6 years1:25:31

1:25:31

The automotive sector is currently at the centre of a global transformation, driven by four key trends: electrification, autonomous driving, sharing and connected cars. Bruegel fellows Reinhilde Veugelers and Simone Tagliapietra have recently published a policy contribution investigating the position of the European automotive industry in a scenario in which electrification substantially progresses. The results are encouraging for Europe: EU companies entered late the global electric vehicle race, but on the basis of their analysis it is not yet too late for them to catch up and make the best of this change. However, they also find that if Europe wants to succeed in the global electric vehicle race, its automotive industry will have to move into higher gear to meet the global – notably Chinese – competition.

EU-Turkey energy and climate dialogues 2019 2:14:01

منذ 6 years2:14:01

2:14:01

At this event we discussed the paper “Estimating the cost of capital for wind energy investments in Turkey”, written by Gustav Fredriksson, Simone Tagliapietra, and Georg Zachmann. The paper proposes an estimation of the cost of capital for wind energy investments in Turkey. Seeing as wind energy, like all renewable energies, is highly capital intensive compared to investments into conventional energy, the cost of capital represents a crucial element in every wind energy investment decision. Simply put, the high cost of capital substantially increases the cost of investing in wind power plants, putting investments at risk. Given the primary role of wind in Turkey’s 2023 energy strategy, it is therefore important to have a better understanding of this factor. The event was organised in collaboration with the Istanbul Policy Center and with the support of Stiftung Mercator.…

Why facts and think tanks matter | 31 January 2019 1:13:05

منذ 6 years1:13:05

1:13:05

In today’s world disinformation is increasingly becoming a tool used in the political arena. Think Tanks play a crucial role in combating this by providing fact-based analysis and policy advice. This event will discuss the global trends in politics and policy advice. The event is also intended to underscore the importance of international cooperation and knowledge and policy partnerships. These are crucial in addressing the critical policy challenges we face in an era of turbulence and transition. The event also featured the launch of the 2018 Global Go To Think Tank Index report from the University of Pennsylvania’s Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program. Chair: Giuseppe Porcaro, Head of Communications and Events Panel: Tommaso Canetta, Fact-checker at Pagella Politica Sophie Gaston, Director of the Centre for Social and Political Risk, at the Henry Jackson Society, and Research Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science Stefani Weiss, Senior Expert, Bertelsmann Stiftung For more information go to http://bruegel.org/events/why-facts-and-think-tanks-matter/…

Towards a new social contract | 24 January 2019 1:25:24

منذ 6 years1:25:24

1:25:24

Globalization and rapid technological change have created opportunities but also intensified risks and insecurity. This event featured the presentation of the recently published World Bank report “Towards a New Social Contract: Taking on Distributional Tensions in Europe and Central Asia”, which shows that societies need a welfare state now more than ever. Insecurity and risks are not shared equally: distributional tensions between groups (generations, workers, regions) are rising, and inequality of opportunity remains persistently high. The report shows that the current tax and transfer and markets regulation systems – the existing social contract – are not very effective in coping with these distributional tensions. Dissatisfaction with the status quo and the trust deficit towards the current social and political arrangements have resulted in voting polarization and rise of populism. How would a renewed social contract look like? The report highlights three policy principles which, considered jointly, should inform a renewed social contract: 1) encourage universal provision of social assistance, social insurance, and basic quality services; 2) promote equal protection of all workers, regardless of their type of employment; and 3) improve the fairness of the tax system by supporting progressivity of a broad tax base that complements labor income taxation with the taxation of capital. Chair: Zsolt Darvas, Senior Fellow Speakers: Maurizio Bussolo, Lead Economist for Europe and Central Asia, World Bank Ruby Gropas, Team leader, Social Affairs team, European Political Strategy Centre Bernadette Ségol, Former Secretary General of the European Trade Union Confederation For additional information please consults: http://bruegel.org/events/towards-a-new-social-contract/…

Rules-based trading system ad EU-Australia, 22 January 2019 55:54

منذ 6 years55:54

55:54

In June 2018, the EU and Australia launched negotiations for a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement. Australia’s position in the world as a top 20 trading nation is underpinned by its advocacy for an open global economy and by trade agreements that ensure the lowest possible barriers to trade and investment. The Australia-EU FTA negotiations seek to provide new opportunities for companies and consumers, and set the benchmark for what can be achieved between like-minded partners in global trade. At this event we welcomed the Australian Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, Senator the Hon Simon Birmingham, on his inaugural official visit to Brussels. He delivered a speech on the Australia-EU bilateral trade, the FTA negotiations, and the importance of multilateral rules-based trading system. The speech was followed by a Q&A session.

Market power and its implications to competition policy, 16 Jan 1:25:24

منذ 6 years1:25:24

1:25:24

Rising markups, market power and market concentration are considered primary concerns that require an immediate policy response. At this event we will analyse the reasons behind the global trends in corporate margins and market concentration. Do they signal a lack of market competition or are they linked to new technology efficiencies and the organic growth of industrial players? We will also discuss whether current competition policy tools are adequate to address related concerns. Do we need a new approach, and if yes, what should its basic ingredients and characteristics be? Speakers: Fiona Scott Morton, Theodore Nierenberg Professor of Economics, Yale Georgios Petropoulos, Research Fellow, Bruegel Adina Claici, Director and head of the Brussels office at Copenhagen Economics Nicolas Petit, Professor of Law, University of Liege Arno Rasek, Chief Economist, German Competition Authority (Bundeskartellamt) For more information consult: http://bruegel.org/events/market-power-and-its-implications-to-competition-policy/…

Empirical trends in markups and market power: implications for productivity and growth 1:28:21

منذ 6 years1:28:21

1:28:21

Markups measure how much higher prices of output goods are relative to their marginal production costs. In other words, they measure the margin of revenue over variable costs. Recent literature, starting with De Loecker and Eeckhout (2018), reports that markups have substantially increased since 1980. At this event we will review the available empirical evidence on markups and investigate the implications for market concentration, market power, productivity, and economic growth. Speakers: Jan De Loecker, Professor, KU Leuven and Research Professor, Research Council (FWO) Chair: Georgios Petropoulos, Research Fellow, Bruegel Chiara Criscuolo, Head of Division, Productivity and Business Dynamics, OECD Fabien Curto Millet, Director of economics, Google Jeffrey Franks, Director, IMF Europe Office Reinhilde Veugelers, Senior Fellow, Bruegel…

The European Union often punches below its weight because of unclear governance. Reforming the governance of the continent has become urgent for three reasons: more politically-sensitive topics are now at the core of the debates, Europe faces greater external challenges, and future EU enlargement will potentially increase the diversity of the bloc’s membership. In this conversation Ulrike Guerot, Adriaan Schout and Guntram Wolff explore possible answers and multiple visions for the future of the European political project.

At this event Ashoka Mody, Visiting Professor, International Economic Policy, Princeton University, presented his new book: Euro tragedy: a drama in nine acts. Blending economic analysis with political drama, the book argues that the push for a common currency – the euro – has undermined the entire political project. It explores how missteps in Economic Policy have led to the impasse in Europe today and offers insights into the roots of Europe’s current disorder, especially distrust of the political systems and elites that seem increasingly undemocratic to the European masses.…

Where is China’s financial system heading? Implications for Europe 1:43:09

منذ 7 years1:43:09

1:43:09

China’s financial system has been instrumental for China’s economic miracle as it has intermediated a massive amount of savings into an investment-led growth model. As the return on assets slows down and the aging accelerates, a key question is how ready is China’s financial system for such transformation. Given the massive Chinese banks and their increasingly large presence in the world, including Europe, and the very rapid growth of China’s bond market both onshore and offshore, this question is also extremely important for Europe.…

Solving the productivity puzzle 1:28:11

منذ 7 years1:28:11

1:28:11

Productivity growth matters for material living standards but has dropped to historic lows in advanced economies. The McKinsey Global Institute examined why productivity growth has been so weak in Europe and the US and looked at the potential for its growth to accelerate, especially at a time when automation and digital technologies are playing a growing role in the economy. The research, published in February 2018, reveals that half the recent slowdown in productivity growth is attributable to the waning of a 1990s IT-driven productivity boom, while the other half is attributable to financial crisis aftereffects, particularly weak demand and uncertainty. For the future, the report finds that digitization contains the promise of significant productivity boosting opportunities, but the benefits have not yet materialized at scale. This is due to adoption barriers and lag effects as well as transition costs. The research identifies productivity-boosting opportunities that could be at least 2 percent per year over the next ten years, with 60 percent coming from digital opportunities. How strong the recovery is, however, will depend on the ability of companies and policy makers to unlock the benefits of digitization and promote sustained demand growth.…

Challenges and opportunities for the EU digital single market- Session 1 1:27:00

منذ 7 years1:27:00

1:27:00

In the first session, the panellists discussed how to establish a fair and competitive Digital Single Market, in particular a fair and competitive platform economy. Since the crucial factors for success for digital platforms are trust and big data, the trade-off between both determine the efficiency of the entire industry. This trade-off is embodied in privacy, and unfortunately empirically there is no clear-cut answer to how much privacy is needed for people’s welfare. The panellists also discussed the role of competition policy and regulation as complementary tools, one as a credible deterrent and the other as a specific way to tailor policy to social objectives. For competition policy, several features of the platform economy were highlighted that make the situation particular, notably the winner-take-all markets, the first-mover advantage, the network effect, the cross-markets leverage that scale brings and other bundling. Due to the fragmentation of the EU market, there are cases where national players effectively compete with global ones. All these aspects make the response all the more difficult and while dominant position leads to increased vigilance it is not always beneficial to break dominant players. The panel also highlighted how self-regulation and purely top-down regulations were both ill-suited for such a fast-moving topic, and instead recommended the use of co-regulation, whereby regulators and stakeholder find pragmatic solutions through continued consultations. Regarding DSM legislative process, some criticized how politicized it had become, shifting away from long-term added-value and evidence-based policies, while others praised the legislators’ openness to input from stakeholders.…

Central banking in turbulent times 1:35:21

منذ 7 years1:35:21

1:35:21

At the end of last century, (just as the European Central Bank was created), a central banking model, broadly based on the experience of independent central banks (like the Bundesbank), prevailed in advanced economies. This model seemed to be validated during the Great Moderation. The Great Recession imparted some serious hits to that model, with central banks called to take new responsibilities in the monetary policy as well as in the financial stability domains. A new book by Francesco Papadia and Tuomas Välimäki, to be presented at this event, asks whether these changes require a basic revision of the pre-crisis central bank model. The tentative answer to this question is that adaptations more than radical changes are required (to take into account the lessons of the Great Recession).…

Robots and artificial intelligence: The next frontier for employment and EU economic policy 1:32:45

1:32:45

The advance of artificial intelligence and development of robotics is expected to have a great impact in our society and our economy. On the one hand, automated systems bring many efficiencies in the performance of specific tasks and the operation of markets. On the other hand, their disruptive forces create many challenges for policy makers who have to design an efficient and secure framework so that the benefits for humanity are maximised. This event will discuss this topic during two sessions. The first session will focus on the impact of industrial robots on EU employment and wages, and will feature the presentation of a new paper by Georgios Petropoulos. The paper looks at these issues using a local market approach similar to the one introduced by Acemoglu and Restrepo (2017) for US labour markets. The second session will discuss the consequences of artificial intelligence on the economy. A panel of experts will evaluate the economic impact of AI and discuss open challenges for the EU industry and economy.…

Pension funds are the core of the institutional investment that could support greater financial integration and stimulate long term investment in the EU. The low interest environment and disillusionment with the performance of pension funds has led to a widespread retrenchment of funded schemes, and possibly a move back into the redistributive state systems. In this context the EU Commission in 2017 proposed a new personal pension product that will be portable across the EU.…

Zombie firms and weak productivity: what role for policy? 1:26:38

منذ 7 years1:26:38

1:26:38

There is growing recognition that the productivity slowdown experienced over the past two decades is partly rooted in a rise of adjustment frictions that rein in the creative destruction process. One important dimension of this phenomenon is that firms that would typically exit or be forced to restructure in a competitive market – i.e. “zombie” firms – are increasingly lingering in a precarious state to the detriment of aggregate productivity. In this view, reviving productivity growth will partly depend on the policies that effectively facilitate the exit or restructuring of weak firms, while simultaneously coping with any social costs that arise from a heightened churning of firms and jobs. Findings from this new OECD project suggest that there is a wide scope for improving the design of insolvency regimes as measured by new cross-country indicators. It also shows that the survival of zombies is related to faltering bank health and the persistence of tax bias towards debt. Building on a large volume of cross-country research, the project presents evidence on the potential for reforms in the area of insolvency, banking supervision and taxation to revive aggregate productivity growth by facilitating the restructuring or exit of weak firms. Coupling these reforms with parallel changes in competition and social policies is shown to boost the productivity gains while minimizing the associated social costs.…

But at same time, an equally strong demand exists for providing security to employees – and to vulnerable groups – and for preserving social cohesion which is the trademark of the European social model. http://bruegel.org/events/flexicurity-and-labour-market-reforms-in-europe/…

The idea of Universal Income has been around for years, proposed by many economists and sociologists around the world, but for a long time it was not tested at a large scale. However, some experiments are now taking place in Finland, the Netherlands, Italy, UK and Canada. A variety of Basic Income proposals are circulating today: its proponents claim that universal basic income (UBI) would provide benefits in terms inclusive growth and equality, but also in terms of efficiency of public policies given that UBI also could replace existing social policies. It could also provide some answer to the questions related to the future of employment (uberisation and robotisation of labour) At this event, we held a discussion on what could be its main benefits but also what could be possible disadvantages that could arise from the implementation of UBI (for instance in terms of disincentive to work).

While Gazprom and its EU partners highlight the commercial nature of the project and the diversification of supply routes; Central and East European countries fear that the pipeline project makes them more dependent on Russian gas. The event on “Different perspectives on Nord Stream II“ is brought together key-experts who introduced their key-findings on the regulatory and economic aspects of Nord Stream II.

Transition for all: equal opportunities in an unequal world — 7 December 2016 1:34:48

منذ 8 years1:34:48

1:34:48

Post-communist societies have achieved remarkable successes, finally closing the happiness gap with people on similar incomes in non-transition countries. However, failure to deliver a fair distribution of the fruits of progress may lead to setbacks in political and economic development. This event featured a presentation of the EBRD Transition Report 2016-17. The report tracks the successes of post-communist countries but also reveals that not everyone has shared in this growing economic prosperity. It warns that “Countries where the majority of people perceived reforms to be designed for somebody else’s gain saw the reversal of both political and economic transition.” These perceptions have led to the emergence of anti-reform populists and crony capitalism. http://bruegel.org/events/transition-for-all-equal-opportunities-in-an-unequal-world/…

Labour Mobility after Brexit - 2 December 2016 1:28:27

منذ 8 years1:28:27

1:28:27

Immigration was a major factor – if not the major factor – in the UK’s vote to leave the EU. The UK government is promising to take a tough stance on immigration in the negotiations. Meanwhile EU leaders are signalling that freedom of movement is non-negotiable and four central European countries are threatening to block any trade deal with the UK that would restrict the rights of their workers to live and work in the EU. At this event we brought together three experts to discuss what Brexit is likely to mean for the free movement of workers between the UK and the EU.

Competition policy and regulation in the banking sector - 21 November 1:28:10

منذ 8 years1:28:10

1:28:10

The recent economic crisis has put the financial sector in the spotlight. Calls to revamp financial regulation have grown stronger. Competition in the banking sector has been perceived with caution. Competition (or the lack of it) will have a bearing on the typical failures associated with the financial system: excessive risk taking, credit overexpansion exuberant growth, bank misconduct. We are pleased to invite you to an event at which Prof. Xavier Vives will discuss the relationship between competition and stability of the banking sector. He will give a snapshot on the trends in competition policy practice and its interaction with regulatory developments in the field. Particular questions that will be addressed are: -Whether there is a significant trade-off between competition and financial stability. -How regulation and competition policy should interact, whether they can complement each other or whether they substitute for each other. -What the appropriate architecture for regulatory and competition agencies in the financial sector should be…

Building a stronger and more competitive European banking sector, European Commission Vice President for Financial Services, Valdis Dombrovskis, set out his approach to supporting a stable, dynamic and diverse banking sector in the EU. A few days before proposing an important new package of banking sector legislation, he considered the challenges the sector faces in a low growth, low interest rate environment. He also talked about the priorities that will shape the upcoming proposals to revise the Capital Requirements Regulation and Directive. The presentation of the Vice-President was followed by a discussion with Guntram Wolff, Bruegel Director, selected experts and the audience. http://bruegel.org/events/what-next-for-europes-banking-future/…

Antitrust concerns in zero price markets — 16 November 2016 1:26:45

منذ 8 years1:26:45

1:26:45

In the recent years “free” products and services have exploded in popularity. Social networks, web-based email, news services, mapping programs, video and music streaming, search engines - all are now widely offered to customers at zero prices. In fact, though often labelled as such, many of these products are not free. Consumers are exchanging their data for them. Only recently competition policy practitioners have started to adequately account for the unique attributes of zero-price markets. At this event Prof. Daniel Rubinfeld presented his research on how the abundance of zero price services has brought to the forefront issues regarding their welfare effects and the appropriate regulatory and enforcement tools.…

Towards a zero-carbon and digital energy system - 27 October 2016 1:30:24

منذ 8 years1:30:24

1:30:24

Two mega-trends are rapidly converging to reshape the European energy system: decarbonisation and digitalisation. Based on strong public policies, decarbonisation is already reshuffling the European energy mix, while industry-driven technological innovation is progressively opening-up new and potentially disruptive opportunities for evolving energy systems. These trends will transform the European energy system from a static and centralised model into a dynamic and decentralised one. In this framework, the governance of the European energy system will also need to change. At this event, Simone Tagliapietra presented ongoing Bruegel research on these topics.…

Value-added tax challenges for cross-border commerce and SMEs - 25 October 2016 1:11:45

منذ 8 years1:11:45

1:11:45

Value-added tax (V.A.T.) on goods and services varies widely across the EU in terms of the level of the tax, the threshold of firms’ turnover above which it applies, and bureaucratic burdens that apply. Such differences have hampered cross-border trade within the (digital) single market. Removing those barriers would help small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), often cited as drivers of the economy, to grow. In this event, we will address major challenges for cross-border commerce that arise from V.A.T. differences across Member States: -What is the impact of A.T. differences among Member States on cross-border commerce and growth of European economy? -Which are the challenges in implementing the recently adopted country of destination principle? -How do the envisioned changes to the VAT framework will affect SMEs? -How can we simplify and harmonise tax rules to induce further investments and growth of SMEs? -Where different V.A.T. rates are applied to physical versus digital goods in different Member States, does it distort markets?…

Innovation review from Europe and Japan - 18/10/2016 1:23:01

منذ 8 years1:23:01

1:23:01

This event was co-organised by Bruegel and the Kobe University Graduate School of Economics. Innovation is thought to be a key factor in bringing about economic recovery after the global economic crisis. On a global scale, Europe and Japan find themselves in a more worrying situation than the US. One reason for this is the weaker link between innovation and macro economy in Europe and Japan compared to the U.S. Europe shows a slow overall growth and lacks much needed pro-growth reforms. The Japanese economy, which began to deteriorate after the collapse of the bubble in the early 1990s, had stagnated throughout two decades. Innovation is one pillar of the drastic economic policies, known as ‘Abenomics,’ which have been in force since autumn 2012 to address this stagnation. Although, innovation represents the introduction of both novel and more efficient technologies, it cannot become an important factor of economic recovery without labour relocation, education and training, and the right socio-economic reconstruction. It is debated whether innovation effectively moves the economy away from secular stagnation. This event aims to bring efficient and realistic proposals as to what the solutions could be and what policy measures would support it. http://bruegel.org/events/innovation-and-economic-reform-in-europe-and-japan/…

The Future of the EU Budget — Bruegel Annual Meetings '16 1:30:02

منذ 8 years1:30:02

1:30:02

Is it time for a major rethink of the EU budget? The current budget is very small relative to GDP, and focuses largely on regional cohesion and natural resources. The 7-year frameworks prevent the EU budget playing a meaningful role in stabilisation. Moreover, using national contributions to finance the EU budget encourages countries to reason in terms of net contributions rather than policy effectiveness. Could a greater use of “own resources” improve the situation, and how might this revenue be raised?…
