										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On his recent lecture and information tour through Europe, <strong>Klaus F. Zimmermann</strong> (Harvard University and UNU-MERIT) has visited Brussels on July 4-5, 2016 to discuss the future of Europe with representatives from the EU Commission and local researchers and scientists. Among others, he visited the <a href="https://www.ceps.eu/">Centre for European Policy Studies</a> (CEPS). <strong>Zimmermann</strong>, who is also Professor at Bonn University and Honorary Professor of the Free University of Berlin, is Associate Research Fellow of CEPS). Brexit, the refugee crisis, evidence-based policy making and the future of Europe have been topics. He also presented his new book with Martin Kahanec:</p>
<p><strong>Kahanec</strong>, Martin, and <strong>Zimmermann</strong>, Klaus F. (Eds.), <strong>Labor Migration, EU Enlargement, and the Great Recession,</strong> Springer 2016.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>A flyer can be found <a href="http://www.springer.com/services+for+this+book?SGWID=0-1772415-3260-0-9783662453193" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>. More details: <a href="http://www.klausfzimmermann.de/new-book-on-eu-enlargement-published/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Further information!</a></p>
<p>Recent European migration has provided insights: EU enlargement and internal mobility has not caused Europe a problem, to the contrary it was beneficial. These findings were ignored in the public Brexit debate.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In einer stark besuchten Seminarveranstaltung sprach <strong>Klaus F. Zimmermann (Harvard University and UNU-MERIT)</strong> am 26. Mai 2016 in der Leibniz Universität Hannover über:</p>
<h3><strong>Die europäische Flüchtlingskrise: Herausforderungen und Chancen</strong></h3>
<p>Er stellte dabei fest:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Die Flüchtlingsfrage wird in Europa gerne als schwere Belastung für Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft oder als wichtiger Lösungsbeitrag künftiger demographischer Herausforderungen diskutiert. Sie demaskiert aber in Wirklichkeit die Unfähigkeit nationaler und internationaler politischer Institutionen, angemessen und flexibel auf Veränderungen zu reagieren. Flüchtlinge sind Spielball für mediale und politische Auseinandersetzungen geworden, die zeigen, dass es mit der europäischen Wertegesellschaft und Solidarität nicht weit her ist. Denn die Zuströme sind quantitativ für Europa eher gering und die bisher gefundenen Lösungsansätze ungenügend. Die Flüchtlingskrise ist in Wirklichkeit eine Krise der politischen Institutionen. Dabei böten die aktuellen Herausforderungen Möglichkeiten, sich besser auf zukünftige Entwicklungen einzustellen. Und man könnte dabei viel von der internationalen Migrationsforschung lernen.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Der Vortrag (<a href="http://www.klausfzimmermann.de/zimmermann-in-harvard-on-the-european-refugee-crisis/">Literaturhinweise</a>) gab einen Überblick über Fakten und Handlungsoptionen. Er wurde durch eine Einladung von <strong>Stephan L. Thomsen  (Niedersächsisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung Hannover und Leibniz Universität Hannover) </strong>initiiert, der Zimmermann auch einführte und auf die große Bedeutung der evidenzbasierten Politikberatung für politische Prozesse hinwies. Zimmermann griff dies auf und verdeutlichte die Notwendigkeit, Migrationspolitik weniger an Mißtrauen und Veränderungsdruck, sondern mehr an Fakten festzumachen. Zuvor hatte Dekan <strong>Axel Haunschild (Leibniz Universität Hannover) </strong>den Redner sowie die zahlreichen Kollegen, Forscher und Studenten begrüßt. <strong>Zimmermann</strong> führte den gesamten Tag zahlreiche Fachgespräche mit Wissenschaftlern aus der Fakultät.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>19 May 2016; Brussels, Berlaymont. The EU Commission launches an important step to strengthen the instruments to judge and improve EU policies. The successful &#8220;<a href="https://crie.jrc.ec.europa.eu/" target="_blank">Centre for Research on Impact Evaluation</a>&#8221; (CRIE) will become the &#8220;<a href="https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/microeconomic-evaluation" target="_blank">Competence Centre on Microeconomic Evaluation</a>&#8221; (CC-ME).</p>
<p>The initiative is discussed and presented at a workshop on</p>
<h3><strong>&#8220;The role of microeconomic evaluation in ex-post impact quantification of EU policies&#8221;</strong></h3>
<p>For the program and the list of high &#8211; ranked speakers and participants see the <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/event/conference/launch-competence-centre-microeconomic-evaluation" target="_blank">website</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Klaus F. Zimmermann</strong> (Bonn Graduate School of Economics, Harvard University and UNU-MERIT) will speak in the session on &#8220;The practice of policy impact evaluation outside the European Commission&#8221;.</p>
<p>The purpose of this half day event is to bring together policymakers, analysts and researchers from the European Commission, international organizations, think tanks and academia, to discuss the role of quantitative, ex-post evaluation of policy impacts in the European policy process.</p>
<p>The event will also see the launch of the European Commission’s Competence Centre on Microeconomic Evaluation. The Commission’s focus on quantification of EU policy results generates on the one hand demand for transversal, robust, objective and transparent impact evaluation tools; on the other hand it calls for an increased accessibility to existing administrative micro-data sources to foster microeconomic impact evaluations.</p>
<p>By bringing together relevant policy and scientific expertise across the Commission, the Competence Centre on Microeconomic Evaluation will help ensure that both appropriate counterfactual methods and micro-data sources are used in a systematic way across the Commission policy cycle. Quantitative evaluation of EU policies across a variety of socio-economic outcomes could greatly contribute to the Better Regulation agenda, the European Semester and the targeting of the European Structural Investment Funds.</p>
<p>The Competence Centre will serve as a focal point of reference to support policy-making across a wide range of areas of impact evaluation of EU policies, by providing advice on data collection and evaluation design, capacity building on counterfactual methods, microeconometric analysis and counterfactual impact evaluation. It will also provide infrastructure for evaluation knowledge management, in the form of a (Micro)Data Bank and an Evaluations Bank.</p>
