  The European sovereign debt crisis has exposed deep structural disparities in the economically and politically fragile Eurozone. While states on its periphery -but also a number of core states- are struggling, Europe’s leading economy, Germany, has been thriving. Low wages, limp domestic demand and a large current account surplus are widely regarded as major ingredients of Germany’s success. At the same time, these ingredients are seen as a stumbling block to the recovery of other European economies.

Martin Kahanec (DPP) co-organized a joint workshop of the IZA Journal of Labor Policy and the IZA Journal of European Labor Studies entitled Labor Market Reforms during the Great Recession: Challenges and Opportunities on October 10-11, 2013, in Brussels.  

The opening keynote address was provided by Commissioner Laszlo Andor. Keynote lectures were given by Giuseppe Bertola (EDHEC Business School) and Coen Teulings (University of Amsterdam and Cambridge University).
