Thanks very much for the opportunity to speak to an open and dynamic group representative of the best of Romania's young people. I hope that I can organize my life better next year so as to be available for a longer discussion. Good luck,

Mă intalnesc din nou cu străluciţii (realmente) econosofi. A fost o incantare să aud opinii şi intrebări deştepte, informate, pertinente. Să vă ajute Dumnezeu să rămaneţi şi să creşteţi aşa! Cu multă căldură,

Economics
through a Macrofying Glass

In its 7th year of existence, Economics through a Macrofying Glass becomes a summer school (projected date: 1-12 august 2010), to further help build a community of bright students that will become tomorrow's policy makers. The 25 participants will attend for 10 days the seminars taught by Mr. Bokros and conferences or talks of prominent economists from the public sector (IMF, NBR) as well as the private one (bankers, consultants, economists). At the same time, the students will engage in talks and debates between them and research the main theme of the project supplementary, so that at the end of the 10 days, an original research paper will be handed in. This working paper will be published in an academic journal. The most active participants will also receive prizes, in recognition of their constant involvement in talks, intriguing questions and overall inquisitive nature. Please revisit the page later in February 2010 for more precise information on dates, guests and application forms.

Our main guest is Lajos Bokros, professor at the Central European University and Chief economic adviser to the Prime Minister of Croatia. Prof. Bokros has a vast experience in the fields of macroeconomics and public finance, which he gained as Director at The World Bank, Economic adviser to the DPM of Poland, Minister of finance in Hungary, Chairman and CEO at Budapest Bank, Chairman and CEO at Budapest Stock Exchange.

Am gasit, ca in fiecare an, disponibilitatea studentilor pentru un dialog sincer, fara pareri preconcepute, care ar trebui replicat cat mai des in societatea romaneasca. Mult success,
