  • How to build European services markets
    Policy brief by John Springford, 28 September 2012

    European services markets are still overwhelmingly national. There are big economic gains to be made from opening them up.

  • Book review - Innovation in Europe lacks 'creative destruction': CER report states
    Opinion piece by EurActiv
    EurActiv, 08 September 2011

    European innovation policies lack the "creative destruction" widely accepted in the US, raising barriers for businesses seeking to find new ideas and applications, according to a report compiled by the Centre for European Reform, a British think-tank.

  • Innovation: How Europe can take off
    Report by Philip Whyte, Simon Tilford, 08 July 2011

    Every EU government supports innovation, believing that it will help Europe to meet the numerous economic, social and environmental challenges that it faces.

  • The Lisbon scorecard X: The road to 2020
    Report by Philip Whyte, Simon Tilford, 15 March 2010

    The EU's Lisbon agenda has failed to deliver what it promised. Although most member-states have made some progress towards the targets they set themselves in 2000, their commitment to reform has been half-hearted.

  • The Lisbon scorecard IX: How to emerge from the wreckage
    Report by Philip Whyte, Simon Tilford, 13 February 2009

    EU governments are taking increasingly unorthodox measures to prevent the economic crisis from overwhelming their economies. They are right to intervene, but their policies must not undermine Europe's long-term economic growth prospects in the process.

  • Is EU competition policy an obstacle to innovation and growth?
    Essay by Simon Tilford, 20 November 2008

    European countries need to improve their record of developing high-tech businesses if they are to prosper. This was explicitly recognised in the EU's Lisbon agenda of economic reforms launched in 2000. The reasons for Europe's poor record of innovation are complex, but one factor may be competition policy.

  • Liberal reforms are no threat to social Europe
    Bulletin article by Philip Whyte, 01 April 2008

    Europeans have long sought to reconcile markets with social solidarity. The EU’s economic reform programme, the Lisbon agenda, falls squarely within this tradition. Launched in 2000, its vaulting ambition was to turn the EU into the “most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010”.

  • The Lisbon scorecard VIII: Is Europe ready for an economic storm?
    Report by Katinka Barysch, Philip Whyte, Simon Tilford, 01 February 2008

    After more than half a decade of economic gloom, the years 2006 and 2007 restored some much-needed optimism to Europe. Faster GDP growth and falling unemployment were at least partly due to the implementation of structural reform.
