Martin Kahanec gave a research seminar about whether and how free mobility of workers may have helped an enlarged EU to cope with asymmetric shocks during the Great Recession at Princeton University on November 19, 2014.
Kahanec specifically focused on how institutional factors – EU enlargement and labor market access – affected the mobility of workers and hence EU’s capacity to absorb asymmetric economic shocks and whether post-enlargement migration flows responded to economic shocks.
