Macro-Risk Assessment and Stabilization Policies with New Early Warning Signals (RASTANEWS)

The Rastanews project aims at answering the following questions:

- how the evolving system of economic governance in the EU (including the implementation of the common monetary policy, mechanisms of economic policy coordination and the system of financial market supervision) is likely to affect economic stability in the Union and in individual Member States, taking into account the risks involved and the challenge of solving the debt problem;

- how the evolving system of economic governance is likely to work in practice, given the complex inter-institutional setting which might combine Community and intergovernmental efforts. The research should analyse the integration of the decision making processes of economic governance in Europe and the roles of actors involved at national and EU levels;

-what risks the EU (or the Member States) should absorb, and how the institutional framework can respond to these risks and find solid systemic solutions, including potential debt restructuring;

-how should the relations between the Eurozone countries and other EU Member States be improved, especially in the context of deepening macro-economic integration in the Eurozone
