Macroeconomic policy and governance
Rigorous and diligent analysis of monetary and fiscal policy as well as structural policies that contribute to economic policy post-pandemic.
Bruegel’s work in macroeconomic policy focuses on issues such as inflation, economic growth, fiscal framework, the EU budget and European governance.
Under the 2024/2025 research programme, Bruegel fellows focus on monetary policy, including the usefulness of the natural rate of interest (r*) for monetary policy, the lessons learnt from the last inflationary/disinflationary episode as well as EU enlargement, including the integration of the Western Balkans into the EU.
