Global Economy
The Global Economy Area, organized by Peter H. Egger (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich), breaks new ground in contemporary problems facing the global economy, ranging from trade in goods and services to foreign direct investment and migration. Key questions examined include how and why globalization speeds up technical change, how firms are organized in global value chains and their impact on real outcomes, inequality and marginalization, the speed of transactions, and the role of global institutions such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization.

“Understanding how the cross-border activity of businesses affects the distribution of incomes and how this effect can best be disciplined is one of the key challenges of modern Economics.”

Distinguished CESifo Affiliate Award
The Distinguished CESifo Affiliate Award, aimed at encouraging talented young scholars, is awarded to the best paper presented by a young author at each of the CESifo Area conferences. Accepted candidates are invited to attend the Area Conference to which they have been nominated and present their paper. An award committee will judge the papers (and presentations) and select a winner. Nominations will be considered for candidates who are either close to completion of the PhD, or who have completed their PhD in the previous five years. The same limit applies to co-authors in the case of papers with multiple authors. The criteria for the award are scientific originality, policy relevance and quality of exposition. The winning paper will appear in the CESifo Working Paper Series.
