Beyond Notre Europe | 31/03/2007 

Bruegel has just published a new Policy Brief titled "A Better Globalisation Fund". In it, visiting Bruegel Scholar Etienne Wasmer and Research Fellow Jakob von Weizsà¤cker argue for wage insurance and mobility allowances for trade-displaced workers as two simple active labour market schemes that can be addressed by the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund. They also argue for establishing sound precedents, strengthened eligibility rules and a scientific evaluation of the results of these schemes in order to decide if the programme should be continued beyond 2013.

The Policy Brief can be downloaded from Bruegel's website.
