Euro Growth Indicator suspended for the time being

In the extraordinary times of COVID-19 spreading over the world and having major health and economic impacts which cannot be tracked with usual short-term indicators, the EUROFRAME group of research institutes has decided to suspend the release of Euro Growth Indicator estimates until further notice.

 

 

The 17th EUROFRAME Conference on Economic Policy Issues in the European Union will be held at later date, which will be decided when the situation allows for it.

Due to the situation with respect to COVID-19 it will not be possible to hold the conference "Climate change: economic implications, tools and challenges for policy-makers in Europe" in London at the scheduled date 5 June 2020. A new date for the conference later in the year is being considered and will be announced as soon as possible. At that stage the call for papers will be re-opened, but already submitted papers will be kept for consideration.

The call for papers can be downloaded here (PDF).
