War in Ukraine: Macroeconomic implications for the EU

A special episode of the Sound of Economics Live where we analyse the macroeconomic implications of the war in Ukraine.

Date: March 2, 2022, 6:15 pm Topic: Macroeconomic policy

livestream

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the EU adopted a number of sanctions in an attempt to immobilize the war effort. These sanctions will have an impact on the EU’s own economies. How will they affect inflation? What fiscal and monetary policies will the EU have to consider to get Europe through this new crisis?

We unpack these and other questions in this exceptional episode of the Sound of Economics Live.

You will be able to access the livestream on this page, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook and LinkedIn.
