8xav¸£Àûµ¼º½

By invitation only

Benelux PECO is an annual political economy conference jointly organized across the Benelux region, held in Luxembourg (2023, 2026), Brussels (2024), and Rotterdam (2025).

The aim of this cross-disciplinary conference, co-organised with the Université Libre de Bruxelles and the Erasmus 8xav¸£Àûµ¼º½ Rotterdam, is to bring together a community of top economists and political scientists from the world’s leading universities and provide an opportunity for them to discuss cutting-edge research in political economy:

• How do government institutions shape economic policy? 
• How can they help, or hamper, policymakers in facing the many challenges and uncertainties of a rapidly changing world (political polarisation, conflicts, climate change, technological progress, inequality,…)? 
• How could those institutions be improved?

These are among the many pressing questions that scholars of government from economics and political science are well suited to answer. Initiated by Vincent Anesi, professor within the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance, the aim of Benelux PECO is to create a European counterpart to the existing Washington PECO, in facilitating stronger interdisciplinary cooperations among the world’s leading experts on government and public policy to make progress on such issues.
