Mutual recognition in goods and services: an economic perspective. Bruges European Economic Policy (BEEP) Briefing 2/2002

Mutual recognition is a remarkable innovation facilitating economic intercourse across borders. In the EU's internal goods market it has been helpful in tackling or avoiding the remaining obstacles, namely, regulatory barriers between Member States. However, there is a curious paradox. Despite the almost universal acclaim of the great merits of mutual recognition the principle has, in and by itself, contributed only modestly to the actual realisation of free movement in the single market. It is also surprising that economists have not or hardly underpinned their widespread appreciation for the principle by providing rigorous analysis which could substantiate the case for mutual recognition for policy makers. Business in Europe has shown a sense of disenc hantment with the principle because of the many costs and uncertainties in its application in actual practice. The purpose of the present paper is to provide the economic and strategic arguments for employing mutual recognition much more systematically in the single market for goods and services. The strategic and the "welfare" gains are analysed and adetailed exposition of the fairly high information , transaction and compliance costs is provided. The information costs derive from the fact that mutual recognition remains a distant abstraction for day-to-day business life. Understandably, verifying the "equivalence" of objectives of health and safety between Member States is perceived as difficult and uncertain. This sentiment is exacerbated by the complications of interpreting the equivalence of "effects". In actual practice, these abstractions are expected to override clear and specific national product or services rules, which local inspectors or traders may find problematic without guidance. The paper enumerates several other costs including, inter alia, the absence of sectoral rule books and the next-to-prohibitive costs of monitoring of the application of the principle. The basic problems in applying mutual recognition in the entire array of services are inspected, showing why the principle can only be used in a limited number of services markets and even there it may contribute only modestly to genuine free movement and competitive exposure. A special section is devoted to a range of practical illustrations of the difficulties business experiences when relying on mutual recognition. Finally, the corollary of mutual recognition - regulatory competition - is discussed in terms of a cost/benefits analysis compared to what is often said to be the alternative , that is "harmonisation" , in EU parlance the "new approach" to approximation. The conclusion is that the manifold benefits of mutual recognition for Europe are too great to allow the present ambiguities to continue. The Union needs much more pro-active approaches to reduce the costs of mutual recognition as well as permanent monitoring structures for its application to services (analogous to those already successfully functioning in goods markets). Above all, what is required is a "mutual recognition culture" so that the EU can better enjoy the fruits of its own regulatory ingenuity.

Germany and the Eurocrisis: The timing of politics and the politics of timing. ACES Cases No. 2014.3

This paper speculates on the future of the euro. It uses Germany as a prism for the discussion about what might be done next to bolster the Euro. Researching the future—always a challenging task—is made harder when multiple state actors contend for prominence on the basis of shifting coalitions at home, all while interacting at an international level. That said, almost everyone accepts that German choices will play the central role in the path ultimately chosen. This paper thus foregrounds Germany’s role in shaping the way ahead, and it does so through an explicitly political framework focused primarily on the electoral implausibility of an alternative German policy course.

A macro-financial analysis of the euro area sovereign bond market. National Bank of Belgium Working Paper No. 259, June 2014

We estimate the 'fundamental' component of euro area sovereign bond yield spreads, i.e. the part of bond spreads that can be justified by country-specific economic factors, euro area economic fundamentals, and international influences. The yield spread decomposition is achieved using a multi-market, no-arbitrage affine term structure model with a unique pricing kernel. More specifically, we use the canonical representation proposed by Joslin, Singleton, and Zhu (2011) and introduce next to standard spanned factors a set of unspanned macro factors, as in Joslin, Priebsch, and Singleton (2013). The model is applied to yield curve data from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain over the period 2005-2013. Overall, our results show that economic fundamentals are the dominant drivers behind sovereign bond spreads. Nevertheless, shocks unrelated to the fundamental component of the spread have played an important role in the dynamics of bond spreads since the intensification of the sovereign debt crisis in the summer of 2011

Contacto pele-a-pele e amamentação na primeira hora de vida

Enquadramento – O contacto pele-a-pele na primeira hora de vida tem benefícios para a mãe e para o recém-nascido, bem como um papel importante no estabelecimento da amamentação. Objetivos – Analisar a evidência científica dos benefícios do contacto pele-a-pele e amamentação na primeira hora de vida; determinar a prevalência do contacto pele-a-pele e da amamentação na primeira hora de vida; verificar quais são os fatores (variáveis sociodemográficas, contextuais da gravidez e do parto, e variáveis relativas ao recémnascido) que interferem nas práticas do contacto pele-a-pele e amamentação na primeira hora de vida. Método – Revisão sistemática da literatura no estudo empírico I. Efetuou-se uma pesquisa na PUBMED, The Cochrane Library, Scielo e Google Académico, estudos publicados entre janeiro de 2011 e dezembro de 2014. Destes foram selecionados 4 estudos, posteriormente analisados, que tiveram em consideração os critérios de inclusão previamente estabelecidos. Dois revisores avaliaram a qualidade dos estudos a incluir utilizando a grelha para avaliação crítica de um estudo descrevendo um ensaio clínico prospetivo, aleatório e controlado de Carneiro (2008). No estudo empírico II seguiu-se um tipo de estudo quantitativo e descritivo simples, de coorte transversal, desenvolvido no serviço de Obstetrícia do Centro Hospitalar Cova da Beira, segundo um processo de amostragem não probabilística por conveniência (n = 382). A recolha de dados efetuou-se através da consulta dos processos clínicos, entre janeiro e dezembro de 2014, das mulheres com idade ≥ 18 anos que tiveram um parto vaginal com feto vivo após as 37 semanas de gestação. Resultados – Evidência de que o contacto precoce pele-a-pele, imediatamente após o parto, é um potencial estímulo sensorial, que abrange o aquecimento do recém-nascido e a estimulação tátil e olfativa, maior estabilização da temperatura, frequência respiratória e nível de glicémia, com diminuição do choro. Está associado à promoção espontânea da amamentação. Na amostra constituída por 382 mulheres, dos 18 aos 46 anos, verificou-se que o contacto pele-a-pele ocorreu em apenas 26,6% da amostra. Cerca de 92,6% da amostragem deu de mamar na primeira hora de vida. No grupo de mulheres em que houve contacto pele-a-pele e amamentação, prevalecem as que têm idade igual ou inferior a 34 anos (66,3%) e predomínio das mulheres que tiveram 5 ou mais consultas (95,9%) de vigilância da gravidez. Conclusão – Face a estes resultados e com base na evidência científica disponível que recomenda o contacto pele-a-pele imediatamente após o parto e promoção da amamentação na primeira hora de vida, assume-se como indispensável que os profissionais invistam na sua formação e assumam um papel importante para a realização deste contacto, estimulando e facilitando esta prática, assim como a realização de mais estudos científicos com contributos para o estabelecimento e manutenção desta prática. Palavras-chave: Contacto pele-a-pele; amamentação; primeira hora de vida.

Socio-technical transitions and policy change - Advocacy coalitions in Swiss energy policy

Policies and politics are an integral part of socio-technical transitions but have not received much attention in the transitions literature so far. Drawing on the advocacy coalition framework, our paper addresses this gap with a study on actors and coalitions in Swiss energy policy. Our results show that advocacy coalitions in Switzerland have largely remained stable despite the Fukushima shock. However, heterogeneity of beliefs has increased and in 2013, even a majority of actors expressed their support for the energy transition – an indication that major policy change might be ahead. It seems that in socio-technical transitions, changes in the policy issue and in the actor base also work toward policy change, next to changes in core beliefs. We make suggestions how the advocacy coalition framework can inform analysis and theory building in transition studies. We also present first ideas about the interplay of socio-technical systems and policy systems.
