ESRI Renewal Conference: Economic Adjustment

Venue: The ESRI, Whitaker Square, Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin 2

Date: 18/04/2012
Time: 8.30 – 13.00

The fourth ESRI Renewal Conference will examine the best available domestic and international evidence relating to the need for rapid economic adjustment. Papers will address:

  • What explains the apparent inflexibility of wages in the Irish labour market?
  • How can competition and regulatory policies help in economic recovery?

Papers will be followed by a response from an expert in the field and an open Q&A session.

Edgar,

Sounds interesting. For those of us who are interested, but unable to attend, will the presentations/papers be posted here or on the ESRI site?

Afternoon Edgar.

Is it true that The Pirates are taking power in Germany? Cool move to take over Berlin first; NAMA has a few properties that they might be interested in, especially CheckPoint Charlie for their neu HQ.

Strange ol times …

@ DoD
Last time, I left Berlin (as a student) to drive to West Germany I was told I had three hours to reach the border, and that if anything happened, I was to remain in my car until I was fetched. Little did I know then that reunification was coming and that the German border would continue to move westwards to include Ireland.
