The Canadian Economy’s 15 Golden years in the Global Context

The Rimini Conference in Economics and Finance (RCEF)

International conference

June 10th- June 13th 2010, Rimini, Italy

http://www.rcef.it

This is a third edition of an international conference (formerly known under the title Small Open Economies in Globalised World, held in Rimini (Italy) in 2006 and Waterloo (Canada) in 2008). The 2010 conference will focus on lessons learned from the Canadian economic performance and management over the last fifteen years and its response to the recent global crisis. Thus, drawing from the Canadian experience of sustained long-run growth and an effective response to a large shock, the conference will deal with general issues in growth and business cycles analysis, international trade, international finance, monetary and fiscal policies, public economics, public finance, finance and banking, general equilibrium, game theory, economic geography, regional development, economics of tourism, environmental economics, industrial organization, labour economics, health economics, econometrics and quantitative methods.

European Integration

Past, Present and Future

Rimini Centre for Economic Analysis in Canada

April 30-May 1, 2010, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

http://www.europeanintegration.org

Post-war European integration started sixty years ago with the establishment of the Council of Europe. Forty years later the Berlin Wall fell and Europe is rapidly becoming ‘whole’ again. Great strides are made in the economic and political spheres, in particular through the expansion of the European Union (EU). However, labour mobility is still somewhat constrained, as are social, political and defence integration efforts. This interdisciplinary conference will look at the development of European integration and its future, focusing on economic, regional and migration issues.
