2. Executive Summary

Economics through a Macrofying Glass is part of a series of annual academic events on

macroeconomics, financial markets and public policy organized by our club and having as key guest

Mr. Lajos Bokros, PhD at the Central European University, former director at the World Bank.

Goals

✓to complement the education received in college,

✓to encourage and reward performance,

✓to strengthen the links between students and their potential employers,

✓to create a network of high potential students,

✓to ensure the continuous development of generations of students in the macroeconomic field,

✓to become the main event for those passionate about macroeconomics in the academic environment. 

This year’s edition of EMG, as we call it, took place between the 4th and the 8th of May 2009.

During the five days of seminars the students had the opportunity to interact with prominent economists

from the banking sector and from institutions such as the IMF and the National Bank of Romania.

The main theme was the current economic crisis, in its different aspects. Causes and measures

were discussed, regarding both global and local context.

The 37 participants were selected from a number of 60 applicants. The selection process

consisted of an application form and an interview. Every participant received a diploma, while the most

active ones were awarded prizes such as books and subscriptions to high quality economic

publications.

Our main partners were Raiffeisen – Real Estate Bank, Expert Serv and Mazars, our logistic partners

were Lafarge, Café Boheme, Violeta’s Vintage Kitchen and Libertas Publishing and we had numerous

media partners, such as The Marketer, Port.ro, 3ner.ro, 24-Fun.ro, bucuresteni.ro.

3. Target Group The EMG participant:

✓is a bachelor/master student with a strong focus on macroeconomics and public policy,

✓must be available, responsible, motivated, communicative and open-minded,

✓has an analytical way of looking at processes and a sharp insightful mind,

✓and solid knowledge of the English language.

Submitting the application form found on our website is the first step in our admission process:

[Excerpts from the questions]

✓What are your primary sources of information in economics?

✓Tell us about your most notable curricular and extracurricular activities.

✓Do you agree with the long run trade off between unemployment and inflation?

✓What market sector will be the least affected by the global crisis or even have a chance to obtain

profit from it? Can certain countries remain in a safe zone?

✓What could happen to the economy if it would be left to recover for itself? Is this possible in today

economic reality?

✓Will the IMF loan affect Romania's chances of adopting the euro at its own pace or will it help its

progress towards fulfilling the Maastricht criteria at a slower but steadier and healthier pace?

✓What personal qualities do you think would make you a good choice for EMG 2009?

Passing an interview is the second step in our admission process:

[Excerpts from the questions]

✓What is the difference between liquidity and solvability?

✓Why is deflation a problem?

✓How can the Central Bank react if the national currency starts losing value?

✓Define the concept of scarcity.

✓What advantages will Romania have after adopting the euro?

✓How does a financial crisis transmit?

ECONOMICS THROUGH A MACROFYING GLASS2009

an ECONOSOFIA project 

✓What is the Mac Index?

✓When did Norway enter the EU?

✓Are there still solid economic reasons for building the Nabucco gas pipe?

✓Explain the concept of welfare and talk about the implications of the welfare state.

✓If you were to choose between state intervention/regulation and a laissez-faire politics, allowing

the market to regulate itself, what solution would you choose for a faster rehabilitation of the financial

system?

✓What is your opinion on the fallacy of economic models? Why do we need to spend so much

time and energy to create something that does not predict nor explain some economic events (like the

current financial crisis)?

✓Some reports from 2001 questioned the size of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, stating that their

dimensions at the time "could have great repercussions over the financial market". Still, why didn't the

American government act towards regulating the mortgage market and possibly avoid the current crisis?

The Economy's on Prozac... Curious to know why?

In contextul starii actuale, depasind cu mult parametrii unei simple schimbari ciclice, criza economica cronica pare sa raspunda stimulilor care vizeaza tratarea acesteia cu diferite politici care au efecte anti-depresive. Astfel, intr-o lume descurajata, in vederea gasirii unor solutii, care nu doar atenueaza circumstantele, clubul Econosofia, din cadrul organizatiei studentesti Voluntari pentru Idei si Proiecte, organizeaza, in perioada 4-8 mai 2009, cea de-a sasea editie a proiectului Economics through a Macrofying Glass.

Invitatul nostru de traditie, d-nul. Lajos Bokros, va impartasi din cunostintele acumulate pe parcursul impresionantei sale cariere - profesor la Central European University, director la Banca Mondiala, ministru de finante al Ungariei, consilier economic principal al prim-ministrului Croatiei si presedinte al Bursei de Valori din Budapesta. Beneficiarii vor fi 40 de studenti pasionati de macroeconomie si totodata motivati de dorinta de a completa cunostintele dobandite in cadrul facultatii, in vederea dezvoltarii pe plan profesional.

Totodata, economisti de seama vor oferi participantilor oportunitatea de a a-si forma noi perspective si viziuni, care, cu siguranta, vor depasi limitele abordarii la nivel pur teoretic. Printre acestia se numara:

• Tony Lybek - reprezentant regional al FMI pentru Romania si Bulgaria • Bogdan Baltazar - consultant financiar si fost presedinte al BRD • Valentin Lazea - economist sef la BNR • Florin Citu - economist sef in cadrul ING • Gabriel Sincu - senior manager Mazars Romania

In urma acestei experiente, tinerii vor acumula cunostinte solide pentru a gasi raspunsuri la intrebarile pertinente, care, pana acum, au fost adresate doar tagmei economistilor si isi vor forma o parere personala, obiectiva referitoare la consecintele colapsului financiar, atat asupra celor usor de anticipat, cat si a celor imprevizibile.

Selectia participantilor se va face pe baza unui formular de aplicare ce trebuie completat pana la data de 28 Aprilie 2009, fiind urmat de un interviu.

Mai multe detalii puteti gasi vizitand site-ul emg.econosofia.org.

Economics through a Macrofying Glass are la temelie dorinta de a transforma mediul economic, social si politic, prin formarea unei comunitati de tineri cu potential ridicat.
