Barry Eichengreen was the guest lecturer for the latest event in the IIEA 50 years of Europe lecture series, chaired by IIEA President and former Taoiseach Garret Fitzgerald. In his presentation, Mr Eichengreen gave a comprehensive overview of the EU's economic performance since 1995. Focusing largely on the EU 15, he looked at why the EU's productivity has lagged behind the US' over this period and looked ahead to future challenges for EU output, namely likely developments in the French and German economies respectively and the challenge posed by manufacturing in China.
Barry Eichengreen is Pardee Professor of Economics and Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley.
