The Global Conference on Public Health (GCPH-2021) organized by PAGES Conferences is scheduled to be held from September 16-18, 2021 in Brussels, Belgium and aims to bring recent developments that have occurred in the field of Public Health to the forefront to understand research and development happening at international level.

The European Central Bank recently completed an eighteen-month strategy review, which aims to ensure that its monetary policy is fit for purpose, both today and in the future.

This shadow report, authored by senior European economists and written in parallel to the official review, provides a structured discussion of four important topics which have been part of the ECB’s analysis in the run up to its strategy review: the definition of the target (price stability and secondary objectives); the operational framework; fiscal-monetary interaction; and the implications for monetary policy of climate change and related mitigation initiatives.

Take part in our online series of events to join the discussion of the authors' findings and engage with this useful analytical accompaniment which will help frame the discussion of the current and future changes to the ECB’s strategy.

Thursday 23rd September will include presentations from the authors and provide an overview of the report followed by a Q&A with the audience.

Speakers: Lucrezia Reichlin, Klaus Adam, Ricardo Reis, and Beatrice Weder di Mauro.

Thursday 7th October will involve a panel of discussants focusing on the market oriented issues covered in chapters 1 and 2.

Panellists: Lucrezia Reichlin, Klaus Adam, Michael McMahon, Beatrice Weder di Mauro, Elga Bartsch, Philip Lane, and Peter Praet.

The University of Copenhagen and the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) invite you to a joint conference on Incentives, Management and Organization (IMO) and Entrepreneurship Economics (ENT) on 7-9 October 2021. Based on information currently available, we plan an in-person event. Speakers and discussants should plan to come to Copenhagen and stay for the length of the event. The audience members however can select to attend in-person or connect via Zoom. This plan is of course subject to changes depending on the COVID-19 situation. The organizers will continue to monitor the situation and will switch to a remote event if necessary.

The two groups have joined forces to explore issues of common interest and facilitate exchange between researchers with overlapping interests. All papers will be considered for joint and parallel sessions.

Incentives, Management and Organization (IMO) covers areas such as organizational economics, personnel economics, management and productivity, incentives and contracts, bounded rationality, and behavioral economics.

Economics of Entrepreneurship (ENT) covers the interaction between entrepreneurship and institutions, financing (venture capital/business angels), experimentation, job creation, theory of the firm, and entrepreneurship from an industrial organization perspective.

Papers selected for presentation will be eligible for the Prize for Outstanding Research in Organization and Management and Entrepreneurship. We thank the Danish National Research Foundation under the Niels Bohr Professorship for sponsoring this year’s prize. If you would like to have your paper considered for the Prize, please let us know in your submission in the comment box.

The keynote speakers for the conference are Oriana Bandiera (LSE and CEPR) and Ross Levine (Berkeley Haas).
