To honor Giovanni Anania, suddenly passed away on July 15th 2015, the AIEAA, the Rossi-Doria Centre and the University of Calabria, with the organizational support of the CREA – Policies and Bio-economy Center of Rende (CS), have organized a Summer School for PhD candidates and young researchers, a constant focus in Giovanni’s mentoring action.

The Giovanni Anania Summer School is a new advanced programme for applied economists in the field of policy formulation and evaluation. It integrates theoretical lectures on specific topics with up-to-date empirical sessions and case studies. We would be delighted to welcome you at the University of Calabria, offering you high-level training, supported by a variety of campus facilities and services.

FIRST GIOVANNI ANANIA SUMMER SCHOOL ON 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.
