Luiss Institute for European Analysis and Policy

inancial stability depends directly on the choices of the single monetary policy of the euro area. The development of Italy’s and euro-area economic activities is linked to the correct use of European funds for recovery and resilience. The challenges of the coming years, from the ecological transition to the recovery after the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, from the reorganization of the health and welfare systems to the redefinition of value chains, all have a dimension that transcends national borders. It is about organizing the supply of “global public goods” for which Europe is the appropriate playground. Rooted in the pre-existing School of European Political Economy, the Luiss Institute for European Analysis and Policy (LEAP) performs policy-oriented and funded research, which also supports the postgraduate training activities of the Luiss Post Graduate Schools. The aim of the institute is to animate the debate on European economic governance and industrial policy with in-depth analyses leading to empirically grounded policy recommendations. Research is carried out in the following areas:

• European economic governance: monetary policy, fiscal policy coordination, banking regulation
• European industrial policy: green, sustainable growth and the digital transition

LEAP produces working papers and policy briefs and promotes public engagement initiatives and other research dissemination in the preceding fields. A substantial part of the industrial policy research is conducted by the Luiss University Hub for New Industrial Policy and Economic Governance (LUHNIP). In collaboration with the German policy institute Dezernat Zukunft, LUHNIP is embedded in the European Macro Policy Network (EMPN), an inner-European network of institutions that fosters discussions on financial, monetary, and economic policy. LUHNIP specializes in two issues of growing international relevance: the European Union’s new industrial policy and the new forms of industrial policy for Italy’s economic renaissance.
