1. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

 

 

 

 


 

 


Dear EACES members,

 

The organisation of the next gathering of the members of EACES is proceeding well: the number of submissions for the Warsaw conference has exceeded 140, including organised panels; and the Warsaw School of Economics in cooperation with the EACES organising committee are on their way to put together a very interesting conference programme. The keynote speakers of the Warsaw conference will include Professor Stanisław Gomułka, for many years Reader of Economics at the London School of Economics, one of the most accomplished consultants to various Polish post-communist governments, and leading the effort to design a coherent reform policy after the collapse of communism. Our other keynote speaker will be Professor Domenico Mario Nuti, at present professor emeritus at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. He was advisor to various international organizations and governments in the East Central and Eastern European region and is the author of numerous publications on comparative economic systems. We will also have the usual Meet the Editors session, where representatives of journals in the comparative economics area will provide the audience with valuable advice and insights into publishing research results. The local organisers will include in the programme some organised tours, where conference attendees can discover the city of Warsaw. All potential participants with accepted abstracts should register on the website of the conference (www.eacesconference.eu).

 

I very much hope to see many EACES members in Warsaw in September.

 

 

Magdolna Sass

EACES President


 

 


 

2. EACES 15th BIENNIAL CONFERENCE

 

 

                                   

 

 

Overview

 

The 15th Biannual Conference of EACES will be held in Warsaw, Poland, on 6-8 September 2018, hosted by the Department of International Comparative Studies and Department of Economics I, affiliated to Collegium of Economic Analysis at Warsaw School of Economics (Szkoła Główna Handlowa, SGH). To guide prospective authors and participants, the conference theme is:

 

Post-Transition and Emerging Economies ten years after the Financial Crisis: Policies, Response, Performance and Challenges

The impact of the Financial Crisis and Great Recession on post-transition and emerging economies has varied tremendously. Some economies experienced very large recessionary shocks with long-lasting effects for the labor market, human capital formation and growth. For others policy and economic structure alleviated potential negative effects. Importantly for some countries, the Great Recession also slowed or postponed systemic reform efforts. Understanding the differential impact and means of diffusing the negative consequences is important for scholars and policy makers. Hence, it strikes us as important to take stock of the performance and policy reactions of post-transition and emerging economies, broadly defined, nearly ten years after the Great Recession. Additionally, challenges to globalization and the environment remain while new challenges to international economic and security institutions arise. A comparative perspective is essential to understand how workers, firms and governments adjusted to the economic shocks that occurred, challenges that remain and new challenges that lie ahead. A systemic approach provides essential perspective as individual economies had made varying degrees of progress in the transition process and will be differentially affected by challenges on the horizon.

Paper submission/Registration

The deadline for sending ha the abstracts has passed on April 25th, 2018. The next phase is registration, which will be available in the early July 2018. The online registration is required for all participants, whose abstracts have been accepted to the conference.

 

Speakers

Confirmed plenary speakers include Professor Stanisław Gomułka and Professor Domenico Mario Nuti. Professor Stanisław Gomułka was for many years Reader of Economics at the London School of Economics, one of the most accomplished consultants to various Polish post-Communist governments, and leading the effort to design a coherent reform policy after the collapse of Communism. Professor Domenico Mario Nuti is among the leading researchers of comparative economics, at present professor emeritus at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. He was advisor to various international organizations and governments in the East Central and Eastern European region and is the author of numerous publications on comparative economic systems.

The conference will host a “Meet the editors” session, where representatives of journals dealing with comparative economics issues will be present, including the journal of the association: European Journal of Comparative Economics.

Organizers

The European Association for Comparative Economic Studies (EACES) was founded in 1990. The principal focus of the association was and remains the comparative study of real economic systems, including the economies of East and West, North and South, as well as the economic interactions among systems and among regional areas, such as the EU. The Association is a broadly based organization in which all schools of economic thought can exchange views and ideas on current and prospective research.

The Department of Comparative Studies at the Warsaw School of Economics was established in 1992 by Professor Leszek Balcerowicz, former Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister in the first two democratic governments in Poland and subsequently in 1997-2000, widely credited with the economic transformation of Poland. The Department integrates didactic and scientific activities in the field of international comparative studies, which encompasses macro- and microeconomic perspective. The department is headed by Professor Piotr Ciżkowicz.

The Department of Economics I conducts research in the field of economics, taking a broad perspective. The research interests of the team at the Department of Economics I focus on the problems of labor economics, pension economics, health economics, education economics, social insurance and the problems of economic regulation. These areas largely refer to modern economic and social policy. The Department of Economics I is chaired by Professor Marek Góra, the co-author of the Polish pension reform from 1999, which made Poland one of a small number of countries which are believed to have successfully coped with the economic consequences of aging.

The Warsaw School of Economics (SGH) is the oldest economic-oriented university in Poland.

About the Workshop

Spurred by sharp declines in unionization rates and growing wage inequality over the last years, there has been growing (public) interest in the effects of non-union employee representation (such as works councils, board-level codetermination, joint consultation committees, or authorized health and safety committees) on the performance of firms, outcomes for workers, and the economy as a whole. Despite this interest, empirical research on the effect of employee representation has been scarce and mostly limited to the case of Germany to date.

 

The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers analyzing (the effects of different) forms of non-union representation, and to put their findings into international comparative perspective. Possible topics might cover:

- the effects of employee representation on productivity
- the effects of employee representation on employee outcomes
- challenges for employee representation due to globalization/technological change
- the effect of non-union representation on inequality and gender discrimination
- (reasons for) international differences in the incidence of employee representation

Editorial:

 

The presidential message in this 86th issue of the EACES newsletter orients the readers towards the the organisation’s next gathering of its members. The preparatory activities of the conference are proceeding well. The scientific committee received over 140 submissions including organised panel for this conference. The local organiser Warsaw School of Economics has excellent preparation along with the EACES organising committee. The keynote speakers include Professor Stanisław Gomułka, for many years Reader of Economics at the London School of Economics, one of the most accomplished consultants to various Polish post-communist governments, and leading the effort to design a coherent reform policy after the collapse of communism. Another keynote speaker will be Professor Domenico Mario Nuti, at present professor emeritus at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. Professor Nuti was the advisor to various international organizations and governments in the East, Central and Eastern European region and is the author of numerous publications on comparative economic systems. Furthermore, the conference will also have Meet the Editors session. Representatives of journals in the comparative economics area will provide the audience with valuable advice and insights into publishing research results.

.

Section 2 of this newsletter explicitly presents the undergoing preparations for the EACES 15th biennial conference. The theme of the conference will be Post-Transition and Emerging Economies Ten Years after the Financial Crisis: Policies, Response, Performance and Challenges.

Additional information regarding the conference are all available in the conference website www.eacesconference.eu. Participants are suggested to receive updates of the valuable information from this portal. The local organisers will manage some organised tours amidst the programme, where conference attendees can discover the city of Warsaw.
