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?
- What does evidence tell us about designing a property tax?
Papers will be followed by a response from an expert in the field and an open Q&A session.
