European leadership in the energy transition

The EU has so far failed to take full advantage of its single market to kickstart a veritable transformation of its productive capacities and become a leader in clean technologies. For example, while European manufacturers are rallying to defend combustion engines – including diesel – India has announced that all new vehicles sold within its borders will be electric by 2030. On top of this, whereas European car makers lead China’s market in vehicles with combustion engines, Chinese auto companies are the best when it comes to electric vehicles. On the other side of the Atlantic, US companies are inventing the autonomous and electric automobile, with Tesla, Google, Uber and others investing massively in new technologies. South Korea and Japan, for their part, have the largest battery production capacity and the best technologies in the field. More...

Inherited Wealth in Greying Societies

Fixing the Eurozone. Measures to Right the Rickety Monetary Union

That the EU is at a crossroads there is no doubt. The UK’s historic decision to quit the Union came as a bitter blow to Brussels, reeling as it was from the debt crises that had rocked Portugal, Ireland, Spain and, most of all, Greece from 2010 to 2015. More...

Report - Anticipating the Economic and Social Impacts of Artificial Intelligence

For a few years now, artificial intelligence has become a subject of debate far beyond the field of digital technology alone, doubtless because there is a sense of the whole scope of its economic and social consequences. Indeed, the laboratory technology has undergone a qualitative leap – with machine learning in particular – that has allowed it to be incorporated in several processes that until recently still required human intervention. Translation, voice recognition, and classifying images and videos are some of the first areas of experimentation and progress. Others will follow, although the technology is fallible and progress remains uncertain. More...

Lessons from Australia’s National Productivity Boards

The post-war boom in the West and Japan is an epitome of this process working effectively. From the time the Marshall Plan was launched in 1948 to the oil crisis of 1973, productivity shot up as countries built infrastructure, modernized their economies, educated their masses and increased trade. Not surprisingly, productivity rose by around 5% per year in advanced economies in the 60s and 70s, with Western Europe closing the substantial lag it had had with the US following World War II.
