The 2015 migrant crisis has subsided, but integrating the large new stock of migrants into the labor market and society remains a daunting challenge for many European host countries. What do we know about the process of labor market integration for migrants of different characteristics? What factors help smooth the transition, and what are lessons for policymakers? Our work explores these questions by drawing from worker-level information from five recent waves of Eurostat’s Labor Force Surveys covering 13 major European economies. Specifically, we estimate the native-immigrant employment gap upon the immigrant’s arrival in the host country and subsequent speed of catching up. We also examine the roles of education and initial macroeconomic conditions in affecting the integration process.

To what extent can we prepare for the global shifts reshaping our world? How should we respond to digitalisation, urbanisation, resource scarcity and economic power shifts? Will futureproofing today make for a better tomorrow? The Megatrends session explored global macroeconomic and geostrategic forces that are shaping the region and our world in significant ways. It was recorded before a live audience who asked questions directly to the panelists, and was later transmitted for the EBRD podcast series. This panel aimed to expose the depth and complexity of these Megatrends which will require innovative and collaborative solutions at the local, national, regional and international levels. With the help of five well-known thought leaders, the session discussed the major trends, their drivers, opportunities and risks, as well as explored what actions might help to manage the waves of disruptive transitions.

On December 10th, Mauricio Macri will mark two years as President of Argentina. A great deal has changed since his surprising electoral victory in 2015. Macri has presided over an improved macroeconomic situation and has set out an ambitious reform agenda aimed at boosting competitiveness and growth. Following a recession in 2016, Argentina is expected to grow at 3 percent this year.
There have, however, been considerable costs associated with the economic policy shift, which made Macri’s Cambiemos coalition’s defeat of a divided Peronist Party in October’s mid-term elections all the more striking.
Can we expect the Macri Administration to achieve its reform agenda in the next two years? What are the likely obstacles and how does the government plan to deal with them? Will the formerly dominant Peronist Party be able to reorganize after suffering two consecutive defeats? What is the likely role of former President (and now Senator) Cristina Kirchner?
To discuss the Macri administration so far, as well as the challenges ahead in the next two years, the Dialogue is pleased to welcome Carlos Pagni, one of Argentina’s best informed and most influential political journalists and commentators.
Turkey’s economic and social performance since 2000 has been impressive. However, more recently the country has faced a number of internal and external challenges, notably macroeconomic imbalances, geopolitical uncertainties, changing patterns of global capital and trade flows, and the effects of climate change.
These challenges have tested investor confidence and by the summer of 2018 there has been a significant depreciation of the Turkish lira.
After the formation of the new Government, the authorities responded with appropriate coordinated policy action. Monetary policy was tightened substantially and the New Economic Programme was introduced. This resulted in macroeconomic stabilisation, but at the cost of a sharp slowdown in economic activity.
Meanwhile, the private sector in Turkey is deleveraging. Credit growth, which had been an important catalyst for economic growth in the past, is unlikely to pick up quickly. In the EBRD’s view, the outlook for the medium term is for growth to be below trend.
After local elections in March 2018, the authorities have a four-year window with no scheduled polls on the horizon. They are now considering a range of structural reforms to ensure a more sustainable medium and long-term growth path for the economy. This year’s Investment Outlook Session explored this question from the perspective of a top-level Turkish policymaker.

The 2016 MFM Summer Session held June 11–15 gave doctoral students and other early career researchers a thorough grounding in in macroeconomic modeling. Students learned techniques, data sources, evidence, applications, and methods to assess how the financial sector impacts the economy as a whole. The program brought together leading academics and experts who build and use models to manage system risk in financial and policy settings. Speakers presented models and methods in contexts focused on understanding the last financial crisis—and preventing the next one.

In macroeconomics, the guns versus butter model is a simple example of the production possibility frontier. It models the relationship between a nation's investment in defense and civilian goods. In this model, a nation has to choose between two options when spending its finite resources. It can buy either guns (invest in defense/military) or butter (invest in production of goods), or a combination of both. This can be seen as an analogy for choices between defense and civilian spending in more complex economies.

Machine learning techniques are being actively pursued in the private sector and have been widely adopted in fields such as computational biology and computer vision. However, the role of machine learning in economics has so far been limited. This workshop was organized to provide a forum to discuss how ideas and techniques from machine learning could be applied to economic questions. The workshop will bring together researchers from computer science, statistics, econometrics and applied economics to foster interactions and discuss different perspectives on statistical learning and its potential impact on economics.
The workshop began with overview talks on machine learning and statistics by researchers from outside of economics. Three following sessions were organized around the themes of causal inference, prediction, and networks and complex data. Each session included the presentation of papers in economics that make use of machine learning methodology, followed by a discussion by researchers from multiple communities.
