LATEST NEWS:

	Stereotypes and the narratives that accompany them are often hard to dispel. But Martin Kahanec, associate professor in CEU's Department of Public Policy, is using statistical analysis to quell the widely held belief that immigrants move to countries that offer liberal welfare benefits in order to abuse social systems. Kahanec and three colleagues from the Institute for the Study of Labor analyzed data from 1993 to 2008 from 19 EU countries including reports on migration flows, gross domestic product, unemployment, and expenditures on unemployment benefits.
	DPP faculty member Andreas Goldthau published a new book with Palgrave Macmillan, coedited with Caroline Kuzemko (Warwick), Andrei Belyi (HSE) and Michael Keating (Richmond).
	In a two-part interview (February 17, March 2) with Radio Nova Nick Sitter analysed the present tension between the Hungarian government and the European Commission, and possible outcomes of this conflict. The government's concentration of power, populist economic policy and nationalist rhetoric has prompted close EU scrutiny of several Hungarian policy initiatives. Its reply to the Commission of 17 February bought the government more time, but also means that any IMF loan will be severely delayed.
	Martin Kahanec (DPP) commented on chapter 6 "Intra-EU mobility and the impact of enlargement" at an expert conference on Employment and Social Developments in Europe Review 2011 organized by the Eruopean Commission, DG EMPL, February 9, 2012, Brussels. In a panel on the experience with free labor mobility in an enlarged EU, Martin Kahanec discussed the contribution of Laurent Aujean and Guy Lejeune (both DG EMPL) who authored chapter 6 "Intra-EU mobility and the impact of enlargement" of the Employment and Social Developments in Europe Review 2011 report.
	On Monday 30 January, PERG and DPP organized a joint lecture, inviting José Fernández-Albertos from the Institute for Public Goods and Policies of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) to give a talk on how the crisis influenced policy preferences in Spain and who voters blame according to their political preferences. The paper was discussed by Anil Duman from the Department of Political Science. The discussion mainly focused on how partisan bias and framings of the crisis as being related to globalization condition the attribution of blame for the crisis.
