Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to the next wiiw seminar 'Policy Perspectives for European Integration' on Wednesday, 23 September 2015, 5 pm wiiw, Vienna 6, Rahlgasse 3, Library (2nd floor) Eurozone governance - squaring the trilemma Christian Odendahl chief economist at the Centre for European Reform (CER) Abstract The euro crisis has revealed major shortcomings in the architecture of the eurozone. At the same time, citizens in Europe want to be governed by national democracies. Can the euro work with national democracies? This paper argues that in order to make the euro viable, economically and politically, policy-makers need to start from the assumption that all policies should be in the hands of national democracies, and only integrate those areas in which a common response is crucial for the survival of the eurozone. Such an approach would focus on banks and capital markets; the lender-of-last-resort function of the ECB to both banks and sovereigns; monetary policy and overall demand; and finding national, central-bank-like mechanisms to enforce strongly counter-cyclical regulatory and fiscal policies. A European approach to structural reforms, however, would play a minor role at best. (Papers and Powerpoint presentations, as far as available, are posted on our homepage http://wiiw.ac.at/events.html after the respective seminars.)

[cid:image002.png@01D0F540.14866B10] PUBLIC LECTURE INVITATION R E M I N D E R The Department of Economics and Finance at the Institute for Advanced Studies cordially invites you to the following Public Lecture <http://www.ihs.ac.at/vienna/resources/Economics/Papers/20130226_Paper_Zimme…> Wednesday, September 23, 2015 Attention - New Address IHS, Josefstädter Strasse 39 , 1080 Vienna Lecture Room 201, second floor 5:00 pm Luis Carlos Corchon Diaz<http://www.eco.uc3m.es/personal/lcorchon/index_en.html> Carlos III Oligopolistic equilibrium with Financial Constraints<https://www.ihs.ac.at/fileadmin/public/ecofin_teaching/user_upload/Oligopol…> Abstract: We provide a model of dynamic duopoly in which firms take into account the financial constraints of all firms. The study of the equilibria of our dynamic game leads to the concept of Bankruptcy-Free outputs (BF) in which no firm can drive another firm to bankruptcy without becoming bankrupt itself. We show that, in some cases, Cournot outputs are not a Markovian subgame perfect equilibrium because if these outputs were set, a firm may have incentives to ruin others. In these cases, standard trigger strategies in which collusion is sustained by infinite reversion to Cournot outputs cannot be used. We show that there is a Markov subgame perfect equilibrium in mixed strategies and study its properties. Predation occurs in equilibrium with a positive probability. Finally we adapt the folk theorem to our framework and show that it holds when minimax is taken over the BF outputs. paper jointly with Carmen Bevia and Yosuke Yasuda We are looking forward to seeing you!
