PRIMA SCUOLA ESTIVA GIOVANNI ANANIA 2016 SU: EVIDENCE-BASED POLICY MAKING

“Regional Trade Agreements: Implications for the EU Agriculture and Rural Development”

11-15 July 2016, Rende (CS), Italy

The first edition of the Summer School focuses on a very hot topic in the current policy debate given the attention paid to proposed agreements such as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The quantitative analysis of policy impacts of such agreements is critical for understanding the various positions at the negotiation tables and contributes to clarifying the implications of alternative policy options.
